Practice Questions
Test your understanding with targeted questions
A ladder makes a 90° angle with a wall. The base of the ladder is 6 m away from the wall, and it reaches a height of 8 m. Find the length of the ladder.
💡 Hint: Use the theorem: Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height².
In a right triangle, if one leg is 3 cm and the hypotenuse is 5 cm, find the other leg.
💡 Hint: Rearrange the theorem to find the missing leg.

A triangular garden has sides of 5 m, 12 m, and an unknown length. Verify if it's a right triangle using Pythagoras' Theorem.
💡 Hint: Calculate the squares and apply the theorem.
If the height of a right triangle is tripled and the base stays the same, how does the length of the hypotenuse change?
💡 Hint: Use the same base, but solve for new height to find new hypotenuse.
