Theorem of Thales: math exercises in 3rd grade to download in PDF.

Math exercises on the Thales theorem in the third grade are to be treated seriously. Thus, these exercises for third graders in middle school focus on the direct and reciprocal part of Thales’ theorem.

Exercise 4:

Consider the triangle ABC rectangle in A such that AB = 5, BC = 9, the unit being the cm.

1) Construct the triangle ABC in full size.

2) Calculate the exact value of AC.

3) Calculate the measure of the angle to the nearest degree by default.

• Complete the figure.
• Calculate the exact value of BN.

Exercise 5: Thales’ theorem

A neon sign manufacturer needs to make the letter z (out of welded glass tubes) to mount on the top of a storefront. Here is the diagram showing the shape and some dimensions of the sign:

The lines (AD) and (BC) intersect at O.

1. Knowing that the lines (AB) and (CD) are parallel, calculate the lengths AB and OB (give the results in fractional form).

Are the lines (MN) and (BC) parallel? Justify.

Exercise 7: Thales’ theorem

The unit is the centimeter.

1. Construct a triangle RST such that: RS = 4.5 ST = 6 RT = 7.5

We will leave the construction lines.

2. Show that the triangle RST is rectangular.
3. a) Draw the circle (C) with center R and radius 4.5. The circle (C) intersects the segment [RT] at K.
