45° 60° Side opposite 45° is ½ the hypotenuse times √2 30° 45° Side opposite 60° is ½ the hypotenuse times √3 Special Right Triangles ½ hyp √2 ½ hyp ½ hyp √2 ½ hyp √3 Side opposite 30° is ½ the hypotenuse
WALLPAPER TILING The wallpaper in the figure can be divided into four equal square quadrants so that each square contains 8 triangles. What is the area of one of the squares if the hypotenuse of each 45°-45°-90° triangle measures millimeters? Example 1
The length of the hypotenuse of one 45°-45°-90° triangle is millimeters. The length of the hypotenuse is times as long as a leg. So, the length of each leg is 7 millimeters. The area of one of these triangles is or 24.5 millimeters. Example 1 cont Answer: Since there are 8 of these triangles in one square quadrant, the area of one of these squares is 8(24.5) or 196 mm2.
WALLPAPER TILING If each 45°-45°-90° triangle in the figure has a hypotenuse of millimeters, what is the perimeter of the entire square? Example 2 Answer: 80 mm
The length of the hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle is times as long as a leg of the triangle. Divide each side by Answer: Example 3 Find a. Rationalize the denominator. Multiply. Divide.
Answer: Example 4 Find b.
is the longer leg, is the shorter leg, and is the hypotenuse. Answer: Example 5 Find QR. Multiply each side by 2.
Example 6 Find BC. Answer: BC = 8 in.
Quiz 1 Need-to-Know Arithmetic Mean (AM) or average: (a + b) / 2 Geometric Mean (GM): √ab Altitude = GM of divided hypotenuse Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2 Pythagorean Triples: Whole numbers that solve the theorem Side opposite 30° angle is ½ the hypotenuse Side opposite 45° angle is ½ the hypotenuse times √2 Side opposite 60° angle is ½ the hypotenuse times √3
Summary & Homework • Summary: • In a 45°- 45°- 90° triangle (isosceles right ∆), the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the leg. The measures are x, x, and x√2 • In a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle, the measures of the sides are x, x√3, and 2x. • Homework: • pg 360, 4-6, 12-17, 21-23
