Pythagoras Revisited

Two key points when dealing with

right-angled triangles
The longest side in a right-angled triangle is called the
HYPOTENUSE.
The HYPOTENUSE is ALWAYS opposite the right angle.

Find the area of the Isosceles triangle

Thought processes

Q : What values do we need to find the area?

A : Base and height
So, we need to find the height.

 h2= 252 − 7²

 h2=576
 h= √ 576=24

Recap Trigonometry Naming sides

Before we use trigonometry to solve problems, we need to know

how to label right-angled triangles.

This is the hypotenuse. It is

the longest side and always This is the opposite. It is
opposite the right angle opposite the labelled angle.
