2. Right Triangle Notes continued

5. 45 – 45 – 90 triangle
Proof: Solve for d * The hypotenuse of a 45–45–90 triangle? √2 times the height of the leg. * The ratio of the sides are x : x : x√2. d x x

6. In a 45° – 45° – 90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the leg. Now label each side using n as the unknown.
A 45° – 45° – 90° triangle is an isosceles triangle. The legs and the base angles are congruent.
n√2 n n

7. Solve for the variable. 1. 2. y
4. Triangle RST has hypotenuse 8” and ST = RT. Find ST 3. y

8. 30 – 60 – 90 triangle
In a 30° - 60° – 90° 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. Now label the diagram using the variable, n,
30° 2n
n√3 n

9. Examples: 4. If DF = 10, then DE = ___ EF = __. 5. If CB =14√3 ,
then x = ___ y = ___.
