Objective • I can evaluate the legs and hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle in word problems
60 30 Let’s identify the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle Hypotenuse Short Leg The longest side located across the right angle! The shortest side located across the 30 angle! Long Leg The side located across the 60 angle!
60 6 3 30 Formula Hypotenuse = 2*Short Leg Short Leg Long Leg= Short Leg* 3
60 X 30 Example 1 Find x and y. Solution: Which leg is given? Long Leg Long Leg= Y Long Leg = Short Leg * 5 3
Example 2 If an equilateral triangle has side with length , find the length of the altitude.
