Unit 2 - Pythagores Theorem

• What does Pythagoras' Theorem state about a right-angled triangle?

  The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
• What is the formula for Pythagoras' Theorem?

  a² + b² = c²
• In the equation a² + b² = c², what does 'c' represent?

  'c' represents the length of the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle.
• What are 'a' and 'b' in the context of Pythagoras' Theorem?

  'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the two shorter sides of the right-angled triangle.
• What is the significance of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle?

  • It is the longest side of the triangle.
  • It is opposite the right angle.
  • It is used in Pythagoras' Theorem.
