Pythagorus Theorem

Question 1

What are the six steps of Pythagoras Theorum?

Answer 1

1) a squared + b squared = c squared
2) 6 squared + 8 squared = c squared
3) 36 + 64 = c squared
4) 100 = c squared
____
5) >100 = C
6) 10 = c

Question 2

What is the hypothenuse?

Answer 2

The longest line

Question 3

What is the formula for calculating any side of a right angle triangle using Pythagorus Theorem?

Answer 3

a squared + b squared + c squared

Question 4

What are the seven steps for calculating any side of a right angle triangle using Pythagorus Theorem?

Answer 4

1) a squared + b squared = c squared
2) a squared = c squared - b squared
3) a squared = 10 squared - 8 squared
4) a squared = 100 - 64
5) a squared = 36
____
6) a = >36
7) a = 6cm

Question 5

How can we work out what the ‘C’ in the calculating any side of a right angle triangle using Pythagorus Theorem equation is?

Answer 5

The ‘c’ in this equation is always the longest line

The longest line will always be opposite the hypothenuse

Question 6

What is the equation for Pythagoras Theorum?

Answer 6

a2 + b2 = c2
