Pythagoras’ Theorem
Right-angled triangle

• Any triangle whose largest angle is 90° is called a right-angled triangle.

• The side opposite to the right angle is called the hypotenuse.

Pythagoras’ Theorem
In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of
the other two sides.

Angle of Elevation

If a person stands and looks up at an object, the angle of elevation is the angle between the
horizontal line of sight and the object.

Angle of Depression

If a person stands and looks down at an object, the angle of depression is the angle between
the horizontal line of sight and the object.
