Pythagoras Theorem
Pythagoras Theorem: Overview
In this topic, we will prove the Pythagoras theorem using the concept of similarity of triangles. We will also learn new theorems that are used to solve problems.

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water away and from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, how much string does she have out (see the given figure)? If she pulls in the string at the rate of per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after seconds?
