ethod 3 Pythagoras Theorem

Question (a)

A C=15cm Length A = Length B

Length C = 15 cm
45
Let length B = A
B

Using Pythagoras Method, the

C2 = A2 + B2 Formula
2 2 2
15 = A +A C2 = A2 + B2.
152 = 2A2 Length A equals to Length B. Let the

2
152 length B become unknown A. Then the
A =
2 equation will become 2A2 equals 152 due
to the addition of A2. To find the unknown
152
A= A2 152 need to divided by 2 .Finally but
2
not the least , the unknown A can be find
152 out by square root the answer.
A=
2

Therefore d metre = A +10

152
= + 10

= 20.61 metre
Check the answer :
C2= A2+B2

C2= 225

C=225
C=15

Conclusions

Trigonometry is the study of triangles. It is a branch of mathematics that studies

relationships involving lengths and angles of triangles. Thus the majority of
applications relate to right-angle triangles.

Trigonometry is used in oceanography in calculating the height of tides in oceans.

There is an enormous number of uses of trigonometry and trigonometric functions.

Trigonometric functions were among the earliest uses for mathematical tables.
Learning trigonometry allows students to improve their mathematical skills in an
environment that allows for focus, practice and repetition. This makes it easier for
students to overcome difficulties and gain a full knowledge of trigonometry.

As one of the most important branches of mathematics, trigonometry is something

that every student should focus on. Great trigonometry skills allow students to work
out complex angles and dimensions in relatively little time.
