Free Year 9 Pythagoras' Theorem Worksheets

3 free pythagoras' theorem resources for Year 9: 2 worksheets, 1 study guide. Answers included.

Finding unknown sides in right-angled triangles. In Year 9, Year 9 students solve more complex equations, work with linear graphs, meet Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry, and expand binomials.

Students will practise: understanding the relationship c[sup 2] = a[sup 2] + b[sup 2] in a right-angled triangle; identifying the hypotenuse; finding the hypotenuse and a shorter side; testing whether a triangle is right-angled; finding the hypotenuse; recognising Pythagorean triples; rounding to decimal places; finding a shorter side.

Common questions

What do Year 9 students learn about pythagoras' theorem?

Finding unknown sides in right-angled triangles. At Year 9, our resources focus on: understanding the relationship c[sup 2] = a[sup 2] + b[sup 2] in a right-angled triangle; identifying the hypotenuse; finding the hypotenuse and a shorter side; testing whether a triangle is right-angled.

Where should we start?

Read the study guide first, then start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet. Finish with the topic test.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Start with the Level 1 worksheet for the topic — if it's easy, move up a level.
  2. Use the answer sheet's working, not just the final answer, to check the method.
  3. Finish a topic with the topic test to see whether the skill is secure.
  4. Two or three short sessions a week beat one long one.
