Unit 3. 1 Section 3 Special Right Triangles
What you should already o angle n Right triangles have one 90 know… n The longest side is called the HYPOTENUSE q n It is directly across from the 90 o The other sides are called LEGS Hypotenuse LEG
Pythagorean Theorem n The sides of a right triangle satisfy this theorem: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 LEG Hypotenuse
Vocabulary n 45 -45 -90 Triangle: q In a 45 -45 -90 triangle, the hypotenuse is times as long as each leg.
Hints for 45 -45 -90 n Leg to Hypotenuse: MULTIPLY by n Hypotenuse to Leg: DIVIDE by LEG Hypotenuse = LEG
Example 1: n a) Find the value of x. b)
Vocabulary n 30 -60 -90 Triangle: q In a 30 -60 -90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the longer leg is times as long as the shorter leg.
How do you know which is the shorter leg and which is the longer leg? ? ? n We know that the hypotenuse is directly n n across from the 90 O angle. The shorter leg is across from the smaller angle (30 o) The longer leg is across from the larger angle (60 O)
30 -60 -90 30 o Longer Leg Hypotenuse 60 o Shorter Leg
Hints for 30 -60 -90 n Shorter Leg to Hypotenuse: MULTIPLY by 2 n Hypotenuse to Shorter Leg: DIVIDE by 2 n Shorter Leg to Longer Leg: MULTIPLY by n Longer Leg to Shorter Leg: DIVIDE by t to n a w s y er t a r w o l h a You ith the S asier! e w t i k r s o ke w a m it … g e L
30 -60 -90 30 o Longer Leg = Shorter Hypotenuse = 2 Shorter 60 o Shorter Leg
Example 2: n Find the values of x and y.
You Try: Find the value of each variable. 1) 2) n
