Right Triangles and Trigonometry Chapter 10 Right Triangles and Trigonometry
Section 3 30°-60°-90° Triangles
Example 1: Find Leg Length In the diagram on the previous slide, Triangle PQR is a 30°-60°-90° triangle with PQ = 2 and PR = 1. Find the value of b.
Example 2: Find Hypotenuse Length In the 30°-60°-90° triangle at the right, the length of the shorter leg is given. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
Example 3: Find Longer Leg Length In the 30°-60°-90° triangle at the right, the length of the shorter leg is given. Find the length of the longer leg.
Checkpoint: Find Lengths in a Triangle Find the value of x Checkpoint: Find Lengths in a Triangle Find the value of x. Write your answer in radical form.
Example 4: Find Shorter Leg Length In the 30°-60°-90° triangle at the right, the length of the longer leg is given. Find the length x of the shorter leg. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Example 5: Find Leg Lengths In the 30°-60°-90° triangle at the right, the length of the hypotenuse is given. Find the length x of the shorter leg and the length y of the longer leg.
