Description
Apply Pythagoras’ Theorem (a² + b² = c²) to calculate unknown side lengths in right-angled triangles, including in real-world and coordinate-geometry contexts
Mastery Evidence
- 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
Assessment Prompt
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?
