PYTHAGORASPYTHAGORASCan only occur in a right angled triangle

Pythagoras Theorem states:

hypotenuse

right angle

e.g.

square root undoes squaring

h2 = a2 + b2

x

7.65 mm

11.3 mm

x2 = 7.652 + 11.32

x2 = 186.2125 x = √186.2125 x = 13.65 mm (2 d.p.)

Calculating the Hypotenuse:

e.g.

x6 m

3 m

x2 = 32 + 62

x2 = 45 x = √45 x = 6.71 m (2 d.p.)

- is opposite the right angle and is ALWAYS the longest side.

Page 3: PYTHAGORAS & TRIGONOMETRY

smaller sides should always be smaller than the hypotenuse

92 = y2 + 42y2 + 42 = 92

- 42- 42 y2 = 92 – 42

y2 = 65y = √65

y = 8.06 cm (2 d.p.)

Calculating the smaller sides:

e.g.

9.42 = y2 + 8.62y2 + 8.62 = 9.42

- 8.62- 8.62 y2 = 9.42 – 8.62

y2 = 14.4y = √14.4

y = 3.79 mm (2 d.p.)

PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLESPYTHAGOREAN TRIPLES- Special sets of whole numbers that fit into the Pythagoras equation

e.g. 3, 4 and 5 5, 12 and 13 7, 24 and 25

- Each of these sets can be multiplied by numbers to find further triples.

x 2 6, 8 and 10 15, 36 and 39 35, 120 and 125

PYTHAGOREAN PYTHAGOREAN APPLICATIONSAPPLICATIONS

e.g. A ladder 5 m long is placed against the wall. The base of the ladder is 2 m from the wall.

Draw a diagram to show this information and calculate how high up the wall the ladder reaches.

Wall (x)

Ladder (5 m)

Base (2 m)

52 = x2 + 22x2 + 22 = 52

-22 -22x2 = 52 - 22

x2 = 21x = √21x = 4.58 m (2 d.p.)

Inverses- are used when calculating angles.

- are found above the sin, cos and tan buttons so the ‘shift’ or 2nd function is needede.g. Find angle A if sin A = 0.1073 sin-1 undoes

sinsin-1 sin-1A = sin-

1(0.1073)A = 6.2° (1 d.p.)

e.g. Find angle B if tan B = ¾ tan-1 undoes tan

tan-1 tan-1B = tan-1(¾)

B = 36.9° (1 d.p.)

If using the fraction button, you may need to use brackets!

leaning against a wall. The angle between the wall and ladder is 27°. Draw a diagram and find the height the ladder extends up the wall.

e.g. A vertical mast is held by a 48 m long wire. The wire is attached to a point 32 m up the mast. Draw a diagram and find the angle the wire makes with the mast.

SCALE DIAGRAMSSCALE DIAGRAMS- are accurate plans of objects that can be smaller or larger in real life.- the scale gives information on how sizes on the plan and object relate.

e.g. If a map has a scale of 1 cm = 200 km, how much would 4 cm on the map equate to in real life?4 × 200 = 800 km

e.g. Draw a right angled triangle with shorter sides of 3 cm and 6 cm and then accurately measure the hypotenuse.Is your hypotenuse approx 6.7 cm

long?e.g. Wheelchair ramps must be no steeper than 10°. If a ramp starts 3 m away from a door that is 0.25 m above the ground, will it be safe? Use a scale of 2 cm = 1 m. You will need a ruler and a protractor.

0.5 cm

6 cmNow measure the angle between the ramp and ground.

Is it safe? Why?

VECTORSVECTORS- Vectors describe a movement (translation).To describe vectors as a column vector:- top number describes sideways movement- bottom number describe up/down movement (negative = down and positive = up)

BEARINGSBEARINGS- Bearings are used to indicate directions- Are measured clockwise from North- Must be expressed using 3 digits (i.e. 000° to 360°)- Compass directions such as NW give directions but are not bearings

e.g. What is the bearing of R from N?N

Bearing = 180 + 37= 217°

Page 12: PYTHAGORAS & TRIGONOMETRY

MAGNITUDE AND BEARINGS OF MAGNITUDE AND BEARINGS OF VECTORSVECTORS- The magnitude of a vector is its length and is calculated using Pythagoras- The direction of a vector (bearing) is calculated using Trigonometry

e.g. Calculate the magnitude and bearing of the vector : -4

Magnitude: x2 = 42 + 62

GRID REFERENCEGRID REFERENCE- Grid referencing is a six figure system of map co-ordinates used to give locations- The first three figures refer to the horizontal scale. - The last three figures refer to the vertical scale.

e.g. A location has a grid reference of 295868. How is it found?

On the horizontal scale we look for the 29 and then move 5 tenths further rightOn the vertical scale we look for the 86 and then move 8 tenths further up

RAPID NUMBERINGRAPID NUMBERING- RAPID stands for Rural Address Property IDentification- It accurately gives the location of rural properties- It is based on the distance a property is from the beginning of the road- The distance is measured in metres with the final measurement being divided by 10. If the property is on the right side, the number is rounded to the nearest even whole number and if it is on the left side, to the nearest odd number.

e.g. What is the RAPID number for a property located 527 metres up the left side of a road? 527 ÷ 10 = 52.7

Left side means we round to nearest odd number = 53

a) Calculating Sides

e.g. Calculate the length of side p

52°46°

To calculate you must have the angle opposite the unknown side.

Only 2 parts of the rule are needed to calculate the answer

p = 6 .Sin52 Sin46

× Sin52 × Sin52 p = 6 × Sin52 Sin46

p = 6.57 m (2 d.p.)

b) Calculating Angles

For the statement: 1 = 3 is the reciprocal true? 2 6

Yes as 2 = 6 1 3

Therefore to calculate angles, the Sine Rule is reciprocated so the unknown angle is on top and therefore easier to calculate.

Sinθ = Sin51 7 6

To calculate you must have the side opposite the unknown angle

× 7 × 7Sinθ = Sin51 × 7 6

θ = sin-1( Sin51 × 7) 6

θ = 65.0° (1 d.p.)

You must calculate Sin51 before dividing by 6 (cannot use fractions)
