Unit 7 Part 2 Special Right Triangles 30°, 60,° 90° ∆s 45°, 45,° 90° ∆s
Special Right Triangles In a degrees right triangle both legs are congruent and the hypotenuse is the length of the leg times
Triangle In a triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 2 times the length of one leg. x x x Another way of stating the formula
Example Determine the length of each side of the following triangle n w
Find the length of each side √2 8 2 n w
Find the length of each side. The hypotenuse is n w
Find the length of each Variable This is a triangle. x 3 y
triangle In a right triangle this is the format x2x x Hypotenuse = 2 Adjacent to 30 = Adjacent to 60 = 1
Triangles In a triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg, and the length of the longer leg is 3 times the length of the shorter leg. x x 3 2x 30 60 Another way of stating the formula
Example Determine the length of each side of the following triangle n w
Find the length of each variable y x 5 √ 3 5
Find the length of each side n w
Find the length of each variable r s
