Mathematics Trigonometry: Special Triangles (30-60-90) a place of mind FACULTY OF EDUCATION Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy Mathematics Trigonometry: Special Triangles (30-60-90) Category: Secondary – Math– Trigonometry – Special Triangles Tags: right triangles, sine, cosine, tangent, unit circle Excerpt: The ratios of the 30-60-90 triangle will be derived using the Pythagorean Theorem. The ratios when the be applied to quickly find the side lengths of any 30-60-90 triangle.

Special Triangles 30-60-90

The 30-60-90 Triangle I 2 cm ? 1 cm cm 1.5 cm 2 cm Not enough information Consider an equilateral triangle with side length of 2 cm. The triangle is cut in half as shown in the figure above. What is the length of the smaller triangle’s base?

Solution Answer: A Justification: The equilateral triangle is cut in half and splits the base at the midpoint. The base of the new triangle should be half the side length of the original triangle, or 1 cm. 2 cm 2 cm 1 cm 1 cm 1 cm

The 30-60-90 Triangle II What is the height of the smaller triangle? 2 cm 1 cm ? What is the height of the smaller triangle?

Solution Answer: B Justification: Using the Pythagorean Theorem: 2 cm 1 cm h (reject negative solution) (include units) Note: We reject the negative solution because lengths of geometric shapes must always be positive.

The 30-60-90 Triangle III What are the angles alpha (α) and beta (β)? Press for hint The triangle is half a equilateral triangle, which contains three 60° angles 1 cm cm α β 2 cm α = 30°, β = 30° α = 30°, β = 60° α = 30°, β = 90° α = 60°, β = 30° α = 60°, β = 60°

Solution Answer: B Justification: The triangle was originally an equilateral triangle with three 60° angles. 1 cm cm 30° 60° 2 cm The equilateral triangle was split down the middle, so α = 30°. The other two angles on the side were not changed, so β = 60°. Remember that the angles in a triangle must sum up to 180 °. Notice that: 30° + 60° + 90° = 180°.

The 30-60-90 Triangle IV The length of the hypotenuse of the 30-60-90 triangle is now 2x. What is the height of the triangle? Press for hint ? Remember: 2 1

Solution Answer: C Justification: The ratio of the length of sides are . Multiplying this ratio by x gives . Multiplying by x only rescales the triangle, so the ratio remains the same. Alternative solution: Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

The 30-60-90 Triangle V The orange triangle below is a 30-60-90 triangle. What is the length of the side labelled x? x 2 1 Press for hint

Solution Answer: B Justification: The ratio of the length of sides in a 30-60-90 triangle is . Multiplying this ratio by so that the hypotenuse is gives a ratio of . Alternative solution: Using the Pythagorean Theorem:
