About this lesson
This is the final video in the series relating to Spherical Geometry for the Year 12 Further Maths course. I take a look at how you can apply Pythagoras' Theorem to spheres and, in particular, hemispheres. There is a pretty complex example which is used to build on the theory which has already been explained in previous videos.
