Pythagoras

The document shows how Chris's age relates to Jane's age over time, starting when Chris is 1/4 of Jane's age at ages 10 and 40, then 1/3 of her age 5 years later, and finally 1/2 her age another 15 years later, asking at what point Chris will overtake Jane in age; it provides no direct answer but sets up an age-relationship problem to solve.

• Jane is 40. Chris is 10. Chris is ¼ of Jane’s age.

• In 5 years time, Jane is 45, Chris is 15. Chris is 1/3 of


Jane’s age.

• In another 15 years time, Jane is 60, Chris is 30. He’s


now only ½ her age.

• At what point will Chris overtake Jane?

• c2 = a2 + b2
Pythagoras’ Theorem
• Find the length of the hypotenuse.
c2 = a 2 + b2

c2 = 32 + 42

3cm c2 = 9 + 16

c2 = 25

4 cm c = √25

c = 5cm
