  1. A scalene triangle has no sides and no angles equal. An isosceles triangle has two sides and two angles equal. An equilateral triangle has three sides and three angles equal. Triangle Review

  2. A right triangle has one right angle. Identify the triangle below; right isosceles How are the three sides of a right triangle related to each other?

  3. The Pythagorean Theorem a2 + b2 = c2 c Hypotenuse, the longest side of a right triangle a b

  4. c 8 6 Example 1: Calculate side c. c2 = a2 + b2 c2 = 82 + 62 c2 = 64+ 36 c2 = 100 c = 10

  5. hypotenuse Example 2: Calculate side x. a2 + b2 = c2 x 7 x2 + 72 = 122 x2 + 49 = 144 12 x2 = 144 – 49 x2 = 95 x = 9.7

  6. Similar Triangles Two triangles are considered to be similar if and only if: • they have the same shape • corresponding angles are equal • the ratio of the corresponding side lengths are equal

  7. F C x 1 m A B D E 72 cm 18.5 m Ex 1. Find x. Step 1: Identify two similar triangles.  ABC ~  DEF Step 2: Write equivalent ratios

  8. F C x 1 m A B D E 72 cm 18.5 m Step 4: Use the ratios that apply to solve for x. 0.72x = 18.5 x = 25.7 m

  9. Ex #2: Surveyors have laid out triangles to find the length of a lake. Calculate this length, AB. ft Step 1: Draw a labeled diagram. PROVIDED ft Step 2: Identify two similar triangles. ft  ACB ~  ECD Step 3: Write equivalent ratios

  10. Step 4: Use the ratios that apply to solve for x. ft ft ft
