Mathigon: Geometry: Triangles and Trigonometry: Pythagoras' Theorem

For Students 9th - 10th Standards
Pythagoras' Theorem: In any right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side that lies opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. (A+B=C)

Mathigon: Geometry: Angles and Polygons: Drawing Triangles

For Students 9th - 10th Standards
This lesson focuses on the Triangle Inequality, when the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third. When this happens, the three sides cannot form a triangle.
