The pythagoras theorem is the rule used to work out the length of side of a right angle triangle with one length mising and two known lengths of side. The rule states that a² = b²+c<...

Let's use the example of (2+3/4) x (1+5/7) The first step when given a question about mixed numbers is to turn them into top-heavy or improper fractions, so that the maths is easier. In the case of 2 + 3/...

We first split ABC into two right-angled triangles. We name the midpoint of AC, M. AM=1cm, and BM=sqrt(5²-3²)=4 by Pythagoras. The area of ABC =1/2ACBM=1/264=12. We...

Draw the triangle ABC and fill in the information given i.e. lengths of BA and BC and identify the angle we are looking for i.e angle BAC Looking at the formulas given identify which one...

LCM stands for Lowest Common Multiple, and HCF stands for Highest Common Factor.

The key to telling the difference between these two things is knowing the differen...
