Pythagorean Theorem and Trig Ratios

When do we use Pythagoras' Theorem?

• When we are given two sides and are asked to find an angle.

• When we are given a side and an angle and are asked to find a side.

• When we are given two sides are we are asked to find the third side.

• When we are given two angles and are asked to find an angle.
