Pythagoras + Trigonometry Flashcards
1
Q
What is Pythagoras’ theorem?
A
A* = B* + C*
2
Q
Using Pythagoras
A
For Example, If A = X ( Hidden Side ), B = 11 & C = 6, that means that X* = 11* + 6. 11 = 121 & 6* = 36, add them together to get 157. If X* = 157, then you must find the root of 157 which is 12.5, meaning that X = 12.5
