Pythagoras with Radicals WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet focuses on applying Pythagoras' theorem with surds. Students are required to give all answers as exact values and simplify radicals where possible.
The initial problems in Section A involve finding missing lengths in right-angled triangles where the side lengths are integers, leading to radical answers.
Section B increases the difficulty by providing problems where at least one of the given sides is already a radical.
The final section, Section C, presents more complex questions involving triangles with side lengths expressed as binomial radicals, requiring students to expand expressions.
The worksheet includes fill-in-the-blank questions to support students through the process.
