Solving Real-Life Problems Learning Intention Success Criteria 1. We are learning how Pythagoras Theorem can be used to solve real-life problems. Be able to solve real-life problems using Pythagoras Theorem showing clear working. www.mathsrevision.com 17-May-18 Compiled by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept.

Solving Real-Life Problems When coming across a problem involving finding a missing side in a right-angled triangle, you should consider using Pythagoras’ Theorem to calculate its length. Example : A steel rod is used to support a tree which is in danger of falling down. What is the length of the rod? www.mathsrevision.com 15m 8m rod 17-May-18 Compiled by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept.

Length of the smaller side Learning Intention Success Criteria 1. We are learning how Pythagoras Theorem can be used to find the length of the smaller side. Apply Pythagoras Theorem to find the length of smaller side showing clear working. www.mathsrevision.com 17-May-18 Compiled by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept.

Length of the smaller side To find the length of the smaller side of a right- angled triangle we simply rearrange Pythagoras Theorem. Example : Find the length of side a ? Check answer ! Always smaller than hypotenuse www.mathsrevision.com 20cm 12cm a cm 17-May-18 Compiled by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept.

Length of the smaller side Example : Find the length of side b ? 10cm b cm 8 cm www.mathsrevision.com Check answer ! Always smaller than hypotenuse 17-May-18 Compiled by Mr. Lafferty Maths Dept.
