  1. Proving Pythagoras’ Theorem and that ancient Greeks were pre8y good at mathema9cs

  2. We start with a triangle of a par9cular type. c a b

  3. What is the area of this rectangle? c a b

  4. a Split that rectangle so that we can b c have two of the original triangles and a new right c angled triangle a b

  5. a e Fill in the gap with another right angled b c triangle to make f another rectangle. c a b

  6. Mirror one rectangle to make a larger one a e b c f c a b

  7. a c a e b c f Can you work out the area of e each set of shapes?

  8. Pythagoras’ Theorem c a b
