With all due respect to Pythagoras, newly uncovered evidence suggests that his famous theorem, used to calculate the lengths of each side of a right triangle, might be 1,000 years older than him. That ...
It is important to remember other angles rules, such as angles on a straight line add up to 180°, and to recognise angles in parallel lines. Make sure you are confident in applying Pythagoras’ theorem ...
