Page 1: Right-Angled Triangle Problems

This page introduces the application of Pythagoras' theorem in solving right-angled triangle problems. The problem demonstrates calculating the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides 16km and 7km.

Definition: Pythagoras' theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides a2+b2=c2a²+b²=c².

Example: For a triangle with sides 16km and 7km, the calculation is: x² = 16² + 7² x² = 256 + 49 x² = 305 x = √305 = 17.464

Highlight: When solving these problems, always remember to give answers to the specified number of significant figures.
