Pythagoras' Theorem and Right-Angled Triangles
- Pythagoras' Theorem is used to find missing lengths in right-angled triangles. The formula is (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where (c) is the hypotenuse.
- To find the hypotenuse, square the shorter sides, add them together, and take the square root of the result.
- To find a shorter side when the hypotenuse is known, subtract the square of the known side from the square of the hypotenuse and take the square root.
"Four squared plus seven squared is 65. Now that is obviously the length of C squared, so to find out what C is, we just need to square root our answer."
- This explains the process of finding the hypotenuse using Pythagoras' Theorem by calculating the squares of the shorter sides.
"Thirteen squared take away this shorter side which is twelve squared... to do the square root of 25 we get the answer 5."
- This demonstrates finding a shorter side when the hypotenuse is known by subtracting the square of the known side from the square of the hypotenuse.
Angles in Parallel Lines
- Understanding angles in parallel lines involves recognizing alternate, corresponding, and co-interior angles.
- Alternate angles are equal, corresponding angles are equal, and co-interior angles sum up to 180 degrees.
- Vertically opposite angles are also equal, and angles on a straight line sum up to 180 degrees.
"Alternate angles are equal, so this 70 here is the same as this 70 here."
- Highlights the property of alternate angles being equal, which helps in solving for unknown angles.

Interior Angles of Polygons
- The sum of interior angles of a polygon can be calculated using the formula ((n-2) \times 180), where (n) is the number of sides.
- Regular polygons have equal interior angles, which can be found by dividing the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides.
"For six sides and a hexagon, we take away 2, which is 4, and then 4 times 180 tells us the total amount of angles in a hexagon which is 720."

Volume Scale Factor
- To find the volume scale factor, cube the length scale factor.

Area and Length Scale Factor
- To find the length scale factor from the volume scale factor, take the cube root.
- Example: For cylinders A and B, with volumes 160 and 20, the volume scale factor is 8. Cube root of 8 gives a length scale factor of 2.
- To find the area scale factor, square the length scale factor.
"To get back from volume to length we have to cube root it."

"To get from the bigger one down to the smaller one we're gonna have to divide by that scale factor which is 4."
- Explanation: The surface area of the smaller cylinder is calculated by dividing the larger cylinder's surface area by the area scale factor.
- Negative scale factors result in a transformation that involves reflection and resizing.

- Formula: (\frac{\sin A}{a} = \frac{\sin B}{b}).
- Example: To find angle BAC, use (\frac{\sin X}{20} = \frac{\sin 43}{14}), leading to (\sin X = \frac{20 \times \sin 43}{14}).
"Sine X over 20 equaling sine 43 over 14."
- This equation sets up the sine rule for solving angle BAC.
"Sine X equals 0.97428... so shift sine answer press equals and I get an answer here of seventy six point nine seven seven nine."
- The sine inverse is used to find angle X, resulting in approximately 77 degrees.
Trigonometry: Cosine Rule
- The cosine rule is used when the sine rule is not applicable, typically in cases without opposite pairs.
- Formula: (a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cdot \cos A).
- Example: To find the length of side (a), use given values and solve for (a).
"A squared equals B squared plus C squared minus 2 times 15 times 12 cause 20."

Finding Angles with Cosine Rule
- Rearrange the cosine rule to find angles: (\cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}).
- Example: Calculate angle BAC using the rearranged formula and given side lengths.
"Cos A equals B squared plus C squared minus A squared over 2 BC."
- This formula is used to find angles when side lengths are known.
