Unit 7 Part 2 Special Right Triangles 30°, 60,° 90° ∆s 45°, 45,° 90° ∆s
Special Right Triangles • In a 45-45-90 degrees right triangle both legs are congruent and the hypotenuse is the length of the leg times 2 45 1 45 1
Another way of stating the formula 45-45-90 Triangle In a 45-45-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 2 times the length of one leg. x x x
Example • Determine the length of each side of the following 45-45-90 triangle. w 45 n 1 45 5 1
Find the length of each side. 45 8 √2 8 2 n 45 w 45 1 45 1
Find the length of each side. • The hypotenuse is 6 2 45 6 2 n 45 w 45 1 45 1
Find the length of each Variable • This is a 45-45-90 triangle. y x 3 45 1 45 1
30-60-90 triangle • In a 30-60-90 right triangle this is the format. 2 60 1 30 x 2x 30 60 1 x Hypotenuse = 2 Adjacent to 30 = Adjacent to 60 = 1 60 2 30
Another way of stating the formula 30-60-90 Triangles 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. 2x 60 x 30 x 3
Example • Determine the length of each side of the following 30-60-90 triangle. 2 60 16 n 1 30 30 w
Find the length of each variable. 2 60 1 30 x 60 y 30 5 √ 3 5 3
Find the length of each side. 30 30 2 12 n 60 1 60 w
