Mathematics Trigonometry: Special Triangles (45-45-90) a place of mind FACULTY OF EDUCATION Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy Mathematics Trigonometry: Special Triangles (45-45-90) Category: Secondary – Math– Trigonometry – Special Triangles Tags: right triangles, sine, cosine, tangent, unit circle Excerpt: The ratios of the 45-45-90 triangle will be derived using the Pythagorean Theorem. The properties of the special triangles can then be applied to the trigonometric ratios of sine and cosine.

Special Triangles 45-45-90

The 45-45-90 Triangle I Consider a square with side length 1 cm. The square is cut along its diagonal. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the resulting triangle? 1 cm 1 cm x = ?

Solution Answer: D Justification: Using the Pythagorean Theorem: x 1 cm x

The 45-45-90 Triangle II Consider a square with side length 1 cm. The square is cut along its diagonal. What are the angles alpha (α) and beta (β)? α = 30°, β = 30° α = 45°, β = 45° α = 50°, β = 50° α = 60°, β = 60° α = 90°, β = 90° 1 cm cm α β

Solution Answer: B Justification: Cutting the square along its diagonal divides the 90° corner of the square into two smaller 45° angles. (Note that this is only true for a square and not rectangles) 1 cm cm 45° 45° Check: 45° + 45° + 90° = 180°, as required for triangles.

The 45-45-90 Triangle III The triangle below is a 45-45-90 triangle. What is the length of the side labelled x? x m

Solution Answer: A Justification: The ratio of the side of a 45-45-90 triangle is 1:1: . Multiplying this ratio by so that the lengths of the shorter sides are . This gives a ratio of : : 2. m 2 m 1 cm cm 45° This may also be solved using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The 45-45-90 Triangle IV A 1 by 1 square is cut along both its diagonals. What is the distance from the center of the square to one of its corners (the distance labelled x)? 1 x

Solution Answer: C Justification: Cutting the 1 by 1 square along its diagonals gives a 45-45-90 triangle with hypotenuse 1, so the ratio of the lengths of the sides is x : x :1. The ratio 1:1: must be scaled so that the hypotenuse is 1. Dividing by gives (Divide by ) 1 45° Therefore, equating the x gives:
