Unit 6 Lesson 3Special Right Triangles CCSS Lesson Goals Use the special right triangle theorems to find missing side lengths in right triangles. G-SRT 8: Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems. G-SRT 8.1: Derive and use the trigonometric ratios for special right triangles (30°,60°,90°and 45°,45°,90°). ESLRs: Becoming Effective Communicators, Competent Learners and Complex Thinkers
The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find • missingside lengths in right triangles. • Isosceles triangles have two congruent sides • and two congruent angles. • The acute angles of a right triangle are • complementary. Previously on Geometry Previously on Geometry y 17 x 8 b
