Pythagoras' Theorem Problem Solving Worksheet

Going beyond finding the hypotenuse and a shorter side, this worksheet links Pythagoras’ theorem to geometric shapes and helps students to make connections between different topic areas.

First I explained the first page, showing how to find right angled triangles and then asked the class to use the first page to help them answer the questions on the second page. Each question requires more than just finding a missing side. The task should take around 20 minutes or so. Some questions came from TES author steele1989.
