Right angled triangles resources

Students build a rectangular prism and identify some of the interior right-angled triangles.

Students build a triangular prism and identify some of the interior right-angled triangles.

Students identify some interior right angled triangles in a 2-dimensional drawing of a cube.

This task requires students to construct a right-angled isosceles triangle, leaving in all construction lines.

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

Students use trigonometry to find missing distances in three everyday problems.

Students identify triangles that have a right angle and an angle greater than a right angle.

Students identify the types of triangles made by everyday objects.

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

Students identify which of 5 triangles fits a given description.

For this NEMP task students perform a range of tasks which cover aspects of symmetry, shape identification, enlargement, and right-angle recognition.

Students are required to use trigonometry to calculate the length of one side of a right-angled triangle in three problems based on a ski lift, a toy sail boat and a penguin on an iceberg.

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 find out the length of the sides of triangles using Pythagoras' theorem, and show their working.
