Sec 8.3: Special Right Triangles Geometry January 31, 2012
Special Right Triangles • Special Right Triangles • Triangles whose angles measures are either 45-45-90 or 30-60-90.
45-45-90 Triangle • Special Relationships • Because you have two 45 angles, the two legs are congruent. • The hypotenuse is √2 times as long as each leg • Hypotenuse = √2 ● leg
30-60-90 Triangles • Special Relationships • Because the two acute angles have different measures, you have a long leg and a short leg • The hypotenuse is twice as long as the short leg and the long leg is √3 times as long as the short leg. • Hypotenuse = 2 ● short leg • Long Leg = √3 ● short leg
Example 1 • Find the value of x. Hypotenuse = √2 ● leg x = √2 (7) x = 7√2
Example 2 Long leg = √3 ● short leg • Find the values of s and t. 9 = √3 (s) 9√3 = s 3 3√3 = s Hyp = 2 ● short leg t = 2 (3√3) t = 6√3
