Check understanding

  • Calculate the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle given the two shorter sides
  • Find a shorter side given the hypotenuse and the other short side
  • Use Pythagoras’ Theorem to find the distance between two points on a coordinate grid
“If your child wants to check whether a shelf bracket makes a perfect right angle and the sides measure 30 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm, can they use Pythagoras to verify?”
