  2. x x x2 + (CD)2 = (2x)2 300-600-900 triangle Triangle ABC is equilateral with each side equal to 2x. CD is an altitude of ABC What is length of CD in terms of x? C 300 2x 2x Pythagorean Theorem - a2 + b2 = c2 ? 600 A B 2x D x2 + (CD)2 = 4x2 (CD)2 = 3x2

  3. 3 3 32 + (CD)2 = (6)2 300-600-900 triangle Triangle ABC is equilateral with each side equal to 6 (instead of 2x). CD is an altitude of ABC What is length of CD? C 300 Pythagorean Theorem - a2 + b2 = c2 6 6 ? 600 A B D 9 + (CD)2 = 36 (CD)2 = 27

  9. 450- 450 - 900 triangle In a 450-450-900 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is times the length of a leg. 450 s 450 s Ratio of Hypotenuse : Leg of I.R.T is always

  10. = 1.4142 . . = = 1.4142 . . = = 1.4142 . . = = 1.4142 . . = EI CG DH BF 450 AE AD AB AC 450 2 2 2 2 Isosceles Right Triangle 450 – 450 - 900 triangle Ratio of Hypotenuse : Leg of I.R.T is always

  11. Summary of Special Angles in Trig

  12. AC = (AB) AC = (3.5) Longer leg is times the shorter leg 3 3 Model Problem Do Now: Triangle ABC is a 30-60-90 triangle with BC = 7 A. What is length of AB? AC? C 300 7 3.5 A B 600 3.5 Hypotenuse is 2 times the shorter leg CB = 2(AB) 7 = 2(AB) 3.5 = AB AC  6.06

  13. Ratio of Hypotenuse : Leg of I.R.T is always x Pythagorean Theorem - a2 + b2 = c2 Instead of x x2 + x2 = (8)2 2x2 = 64 x2 = 32 x = 32 x = 4 2 Model Problem Do Now: Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle with BC = 8 A. What AB? AC? C 8 A B
