    The document discusses three problems applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate unknown side lengths of triangles. The first problem involves calculating side c of a triangle given sides a and b. The second finds the lengths of OP and PN in a triangle where MP, OM, and ON are given. The third determines the length of a ladder placed against a wall where the foot is 6 ft from the wall and the top rests 8 ft up.

    Pythagoras Theorem

    (Calculating unknown lengths)

    1. Calculate the lengths of the unknown sides.

    20m 16.3m

    A. B. C.
    c
    35m Y
    6cm
    18.2m
    m

    8cm

    (9 marks)

    2. OMN is a triangle such that


    MP=7 cm ,OM =25 cm ,ON =30 cm

    Calculate
    a) The length of OP (3 marks)
    b) The length of PN (3 marks)

    3. Dan secures a ladder firmly to the wall to dust a photo frame mounted on the wall.

    The foot of the ladder is placed 6 ft. from the wall. If the top of the ladder rests 8 ft.

    up the wall, what is the length of the ladder? ( 4 marks)
