About this Simulation

This interactive simulation allows students to explore Pythagoras' Theorem by manipulating right-angled triangles and observing how the areas of squares on each side relate to one another. Adjust triangle dimensions in real-time to discover the fundamental relationship: a² + b² = c².

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between the sides of right-angled triangles | Visualise and verify Pythagoras' Theorem through interactive exploration | Apply the theorem to solve problems involving unknown side lengths
