Special Right Triangles There are two special right triangles! We will use the Pythagorean Theorem to discover the relationships between the sides of the two special triangles.

The first special triangle is an isosceles triangle, also called a Each isosceles triangle is half a square so they appear in math and engineering frequently. An isosceles right triangle

Investigation 1 Step 1 Sketch an isosceles right triangle. Label the legs s and the hypotenuse h Step 2 Pick any integer for s, the length of the legs. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find h. Step 3 Repeat Step 2 with a different integer for s. What do you notice? Do you see any pattern in the relationship between s and h?

Isosceles Right Triangle Conjecture or Rule In an isosceles right triangle, if the legs have length s, then the hypotenuse has length _______ Think: side – side – side

Lets try a few: Find the missing sides 1)

The other special triangle is a If you fold an equilateral triangle along one of its altitudes you get a triangle. Therefore, a triangle is one half an equilateral triangle so it appears in math and engineering frequently as well. Let’s see if there is a way to figure out the lengths of the legs

Let’s use some deductive reasoning to figure this one out. Triangle ABC is equilateral, and CD is an altitude D A C B Step 1 What are and ? What are the and ?

More steps to help us understand… Step 2 Is ? Why? Yes because of SAS, ASA, or SAA Step 3 Is ? Why? How do AC and AD compare? Yes, CPCTC, AC = 2AD In a triangle, will this relationship between the hypotenuse and the shorter leg always hold true? Explain Yes, all triangles are similar. D A C B

A couple more… Step 4 Sketch a triangle Choose an integer for the short side…let’s use 5. 5 What do we know about the hypotenuse? It is two times bigger than the short side, so the hypotenuse is… 10 So, now we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the unknown side. x

Try one on your own! Do you see a pattern between the two legs?

Triangle Conjecture In a triangle, if the shorter side has length s, then the longer leg has length _______ and the hypotenuse has length _____ Think: side – side – 2 · side

Let’s practice some Use your own paper Find the unknown length x 2. x x y 18 y x
