Pythagoras theorem resources

In the context of kicking a goal at rugby, students use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate distance. Students then use trigonometry to work out if the kick passes through the posts.

Students need to apply their knowledge of Pythagoras' theorem to prove that a triangle of given measurements is right-angled.

Students find out the length of the sides of triangles in an Olympics dressage arena using Pythagoras' theorem, and show their working.

Using Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry ratios, students calculate distances between people standing in a paddock.

Students use Pythagoras' theorem to find the unknown sides of right-angled triangles in three practical problems.

Students use Pythagoras' theorem to decide whether triangles are right-angled based on the lengths of their sides.
