Pythagoras' Theorem: SMK Taman Universiti Mathematics Form 2 Teaching & Learning Module

This document is a teaching module on Pythagoras' theorem for Form 2 mathematics students. It includes examples of using Pythagoras' theorem to find missing side lengths of right triangles, as well as examples applying the converse of Pythagoras' theorem to determine if a triangle is right, obtuse, or acute. The module also provides sample exam questions related to Pythagoras' theorem from past PMR exams. Students are assigned homework questions to complete from their textbook relating to using and applying Pythagoras' theorem and its converse.

1. If a2 = b2 + c2, then the triangle is a
right-angled triangle.
2. If a2 > b2 + c2, then A is an obtuse
angle.
3. If a2 < b2 + c2, then A is an acute
angle.
