              Finding any length of a Right-Angled Triangle

              Key stage 3 mathematics for using Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate any length of a right-angled triangle.   Learning progresses from working with Pythagorean Triples to calculating the area of a right-angled isosceles triangle when only the hypotenuse is given.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to calculate a smaller side of a Pythagorean Triple
              • Most students should be able to calculate any side of a right-angled triangle using Pythagoras’ Theorem
              • Some students should be able to apply Pythagoras’ Theorem to composite triangular shapes.

              October 16, 2019

              There are two key learning points when solving problems with angles in polygons.  The first is to understand why all the exterior angles of a polygon have a sum of 360°.  The second is to understand the interior and exterior angles appear on the same straight line. Students can be told these two facts and […]
