  1. Special Right Triangles

  2. Take a square…

  3. Find its diagonal Here it is

  4. We’ll let each of the sides of the square be “x”. They are all equal. d x x

  5. Look at your formula sheets. You will need to get into the habit of using these for special right triangles. 45o-45o-90o x√2 x x

  6. Summarize the pattern:

  7. 45o-45o-90o leg leg leg

  8. 45o-45o-90o 6 6 6

  9. Practice:

  10. 45o-45o-90o 8 8 8

  11. 45o-45o-90o 5 5 5

  12. 45o-45o-90o 10 10 10

  13. 45o-45o-90o 2

  14. 45o-45o-90o

  15. 45o- 45o-90o

  16. 45o-45o-90o

  17. Now Let’s take an Equilateral Triangle…

  18. … Find its Altitude

  19. See how the altitude halved the side. x x a x

  20. Now, lets look at half this triangle, turned on its altitude. x x x a a

  21. Summarize the pattern:

  22. 30o-60o-90o Shorter Leg Hypotenuse Longer leg

  23. 30o-60o-90o ½ Hyp. Hyp. ½ Hyp.

  24. 30o-60o-90o

  25. Practice:

  26. 30o-60o-90o

  27. 30o-60o-90o

  28. 30o-60o-90o

  29. 30o-60o-90o

  30. 30o-60o-90o

  31. 30o-60o-90o

  32. 30o-60o-90o

  33. 30o-60o-90o

  34. 30o-60o-90o

  35. 30o-60o-90o

  36. Review Both Patterns:

  37. 45o-45o-90o leg leg leg

  38. 30o-60o-90o ½ Hyp. Hyp. ½ Hyp.

  39. Mixed Practice:

  40. 8 8 8

  41. 10 10 10
