    >OC The Theorem of Pythagoras


    • The Theorem of Pythagoras applies to right-angled triangles only.
    • The longest side is the hypotenuse.
    • The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle.
    • The theorem is used for finding lengths of sides.

    Hypotenuse

    short side2 + short side2 • hypotenuse2


    a2 + b2 cl-

    Finding the length of the hypotenuse


    Example: Calculate the length of c.

    a2 + b2 = c2 Don't forget to
    use brackets on
    42 + 72 = c2
    your calculator:
    7cm
    C /42 + 72 = C /(42 + 72)
    c- 65
    c = 8.06 cm (2 dp)
