Therefore x=10, x=2

I would firstly ask them how much they knew about trigonometry, and then guide them through the SoHCaHToA theory. I would use diagrams for this. I would then ask them to spot any ways they could work out ...

Ok, so the reason we need the Pythagoras theorem is to work out the length of missing side given we know the other 2 sides in a right-angled triangle. (Would go on to draw the triangle with the known side...

The area of a kite is the (product of diagonal lengths)/2.A = (12 * 6)/2A = 36cm^2

We have 8x + 9y = 3 [1] and x + y = 0 [2].We can make x or y the subject. Take y as subject we have y = -x [3].We substitute [3] into [1] and get 8x - 9x = 3 --> -x = 3 --> x = -3.Substituting x = -...
