Worksheet 11: Pythagoras’ theorem and similar shapes

15 Diagram of the cuboid with sides x cm, y cm and Let x = a, y = b, z = c and the diagonal of the base face
z cm: (x × y) = e

The diagonal of the cuboid forms a triangle with the


e = a 2 + b2
diagonal of the base face:

So,
e = a2 + b2 and d = e 2 + c 2

( ) +c
2
⇒ d2 = a 2 + b2 2

d 2 = a 2 + b2 + c 2
d = a 2 + b2 + c 2
