About this lesson
This is the second video in the series looking at measurement, scale and similarity for the Year 11 General Maths (Units 1 and 2) VCE Course. I can't tell you how many times I feel like I have recorded this video, but here is an updated attempt at showing you Pythagoras' Theorem. I do it in a slightly different way in this video looking more at the geometry of why it works and how we can use it to make things simpler. I use a lot of humour and make sure the content is understood by everyone! There are lots of worked examples and I look at the practical applications of Pythagoras' Theorem too. Such fun!
