PYTHAGORAS THEOREM

Draw and label a diagram, and use Pythagoras’ Theorem to help you work out the answers to these
questions. Ensure you label the right angle and work out which side is the hypotenuse.

1) Tony has got his kite stuck at the top of a very tall tree. He knows the string on his kite is 20 m long.
When he pulls the string tight and holds the very end on the ground it touches 17 m from the
bottom of the tree. If the ground is at, how tall is the tree?
2) Robert is using a 5m ladder to climb in his upstairs bedroom window. He nds that if he puts the base
of the ladder 3.3m from the wall the top leans on the windowsill. How high from the ground is the

windowsill?
3) Find the missing side.
