Working like a Mathematician The Problem Visualising it A Right angle triangle showing Pythagoras theorem -Why bother? Find an expression for the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle in terms of the area and perimeter of the triangle A triangle shaded As a mathematical expectation: Express the hypotenuse (H) in terms Of the Area(A) and the Perimeter(P) A triangle highlighting the Perimeter Now put it all together and fiddle till you get an expression with H in terms of P & A
