Constructing a right angle using Pythagoras' Theorem using Pythagorean triples

Reason For Learning

Accurate scale drawings with specified dimensions will always lead to better understanding of the problem involved and hence a successful final outcome is more likely.

Learning Intention

Students will use a ruler and protractor to construct the appropriate triangle. Alternatively the right angle can be found using a compass.
