Solving a Right Triangle • A triangle has six parts—three angles and three sides. • To solve a trianglemeans to determine all of its parts from the information known about the triangle. • In other words, we determine the lengths of the three sides and the measures of the three angles.
Class Work Solve the triangle. 8. 9.
