INTRODUCTION

GEOMETRY IS USED IN many areas including surveying building and graphics

These fields all require a knowledge of angles parallel lines and so on and

how to measure them In this chapter you will study angles parallel linestriangles types of quadrilaterals and general polygons

Many exercises in this chapter on geometry need you to prove something

or give reasons for your answers The solutions to geometry proofs only give

one method but other methods are also acceptable

DID YOU KNOW

Geometry means measurement of the earth and comes from Greek Geometry was used in ancient

civilisations such as Babylonia However it was the Greeks who formalised the study of geometry

in the period between 500 BC and AD 300

Notation

In order to show reasons for exercises you must know how to name figures

correctly

bull B

The point is called B

The interval (part of a line) is called AB or BA

If AB and CD are parallel lines we write AB CDlt

This angle is named BAC+ or CAB+ It can sometimes be named A+

Angles can also be written as BAC^

or BAC

This triangle is named ABC3

142 Maths In Focus Mathematics Extension 1 Preliminary Course

This quadrilateral is called ABCD

Line AB is produced to C

DB bisects ABC+

AM is a median of ABCD

AP is an altitude of ABCD

Types of Angles

Acute angle

0 90xc c c1 1

To name a quadrilateral

go around it for example

BCDA is correct but ACBDis not

Producing a line is the same

as extending it

ABD+ and DBC + are

equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

INTRODUCTION

GEOMETRY IS USED IN many areas including surveying building and graphics

These fields all require a knowledge of angles parallel lines and so on and

how to measure them In this chapter you will study angles parallel linestriangles types of quadrilaterals and general polygons

Many exercises in this chapter on geometry need you to prove something

or give reasons for your answers The solutions to geometry proofs only give

one method but other methods are also acceptable

DID YOU KNOW

Geometry means measurement of the earth and comes from Greek Geometry was used in ancient

civilisations such as Babylonia However it was the Greeks who formalised the study of geometry

in the period between 500 BC and AD 300

Notation

In order to show reasons for exercises you must know how to name figures

correctly

bull B

The point is called B

The interval (part of a line) is called AB or BA

If AB and CD are parallel lines we write AB CDlt

This angle is named BAC+ or CAB+ It can sometimes be named A+

Angles can also be written as BAC^

or BAC

This triangle is named ABC3

8142019 Geometry 1 i

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullgeometry-1-i 359

142 Maths In Focus Mathematics Extension 1 Preliminary Course

This quadrilateral is called ABCD

Line AB is produced to C

DB bisects ABC+

AM is a median of ABCD

AP is an altitude of ABCD

Types of Angles

Acute angle

0 90xc c c1 1

To name a quadrilateral

go around it for example

BCDA is correct but ACBDis not

Producing a line is the same

as extending it

ABD+ and DBC + are

equal

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

other pair of corresponding sides are equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

other pair of corresponding sides are equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Proof

Draw any n -sided polygon and divide it into n triangles as

shown Then the total sum of angles is n 180 c or 180 n

But this sum includes all the angles at O So the sum of

interior angles is 180 360 n c-

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

other pair of corresponding sides are equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

other pair of corresponding sides are equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Proof

Draw any n -sided polygon and divide it into n triangles as

shown Then the total sum of angles is n 180 c or 180 n

But this sum includes all the angles at O So the sum of

interior angles is 180 360 n c-

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

other pair of corresponding sides are equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Rhombus

A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle a right angle

the same as for a parallelogram and alsobull

diagonals are equalbull

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

If one angle is a right

angle then you can

prove all angles are

right angles

A rhombus is a parallelogram with a pair of adjacent sides equal

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

other pair of corresponding sides are equal

Similar Triangles

Triangles for example ABC and XYZ are similar if they are the same shape but

different sizes

As in the example all three pairs of corresponding angles are equal

All three pairs of corresponding sides are in proportion (in the same ratio)

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size All pairs of

corresponding sides and angles are equal

For example

We write ABC XYZ D D

Tests

To prove that two triangles are congruent we only need to prove that certain

combinations of sides or angles are equal

Two triangles are congruent if

bull SSS all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal

bull SAS two pairs of corresponding sides and their included angles are

equal

bull AAS two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal

bull RHS both have a right angle their hypotenuses are equal and one

other pair of corresponding sides are equal

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Proof

Draw any n -sided polygon and divide it into n triangles as

shown Then the total sum of angles is n 180 c or 180 n

But this sum includes all the angles at O So the sum of

interior angles is 180 360 n c-

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Rhombus

A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle a right angle

the same as for a parallelogram and alsobull

diagonals are equalbull

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

If one angle is a right

angle then you can

prove all angles are

right angles

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Rhombus

A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle a right angle

the same as for a parallelogram and alsobull

diagonals are equalbull

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

If one angle is a right

angle then you can

prove all angles are

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Rhombus

A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle a right angle

the same as for a parallelogram and alsobull

diagonals are equalbull

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

If one angle is a right

angle then you can

prove all angles are

right angles

A rhombus is a parallelogram with a pair of adjacent sides equal

the same as for parallelogram and alsobull

diagonals bisect at right anglesbull

diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombusbull

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Proof

Draw any n -sided polygon and divide it into n triangles as

shown Then the total sum of angles is n 180 c or 180 n

But this sum includes all the angles at O So the sum of

interior angles is 180 360 n c-

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Rhombus

A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle a right angle

diagonals are equalbull

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Rhombus

A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle a right angle

the same as for a parallelogram and alsobull

diagonals are equalbull

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

If one angle is a right

angle then you can

prove all angles are

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Pythagorasrsquo Theorem

DID YOU KNOW

The triangle with sides in the

proportion 345 was known to be

right angled as far back as ancient

Egyptian times Egyptian surveyors

used to measure right angles by

stretching out a rope with knots tied

in it at regular intervals

They used the rope for forming

right angles while building and

dividing 1047297elds into rectangular plots

It was Pythagoras (572ndash495 BC)

who actually discovered the

relationship between the sides of the

right-angled triangle He was able to

generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician

philosopher and mystic He founded the Pythagorean

School where mathematics science and philosophy

were studied The school developed a brotherhood and

performed secret rituals He and his followers believed

that the whole universe was based on numbers

Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77 and the

brotherhood was disbanded

The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the

sum of the squares on the other two sides

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Rhombus

A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle a right angle

the same as for a parallelogram and alsobull

diagonals are equalbull

A quadrilateral is a rectangle if its diagonals are equal

Application

Builders use the property of equal diagonals to check if a rectangle is accurate

For example a timber frame may look rectangular but may be slightly slantingChecking the diagonals makes sure that a building does not end up like the

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It can be proved that

all sides are equal

If one angle is a right

angle then you can

prove all angles are

right angles

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching

DID YOU KNOW

Carl Gauss (1777ndash1855) was a famous German mathematician physicist and astronomer When

he was 19 years old he showed that a 17-sided polygon could be constructed using a ruler and

compasses This was a major achievement in geometryGauss made a huge contribution to the study of mathematics and science including

correctly calculating where the magnetic south pole is and designing a lens to correct

astigmatism

He was the director of the Goumlttingen Observatory for 40 years It is said that he did not

become a professor of mathematics because he did not like teaching
