1. The HYPOTENUSE is the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle. 2. In a right triangle, if x and y are the lengths of the legs and z is the length of the hypotenuse, then _x2 + y2 = z2__ (formula). 3. In an isosceles right triangle, if the hypotenuse has length x, then each leg has length _x/√2___. 4. In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the hypotenuse has length y, then the shorter leg has length __y/2___ and the longer leg has length __y√3/2___.

5. Determine whether ABC with vertices A(2, 4), B(10, 2), and C(7, 7) is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral. a2 + b2 = c2 A( 2, 4) B(10, 2) 82 + 22 = c2 64 + 4 = c2 68 = c2 √68 = c A( 2, 4) C( 7, 7) 52 + 32 = c2 25 + 9 = c2 34 = c2 √34 = c C( 7, 7) B(10, 2) 32 + 52 = c2 9 + 25 = c2 34 = c2 √34 = c isosceles

A jet flies under another at midnight A jet flies under another at midnight. The lower jet is traveling south at 300 km/hr at an altitude of 12,500 feet; the other is traveling east at 400 km/hr at an altitude of 15,500. If they continue on their current flight paths, without varying their altitude or speed, how far apart will they be in 3 hours? a2 + b2 = c2 (300 • 3)2 + (400 • 3)2 = c2 9002 + 12002 = c2 810000 + 1440000 = c2 2250000 = c2 1500 = c 1500 km apart

12 + 12√2 = original height of flagpole To the nearest foot, find the original height of a fallen flagpole that cracked and fell as if hinged, forming an angle of 45 with the ground where it hit. The tip of the pole hit the ground 12 feet from its base which is still standing upright. Since this is an isosceles right triangle, the two legs (the ground and the remaining upright portion of the flag pole are both 12 feet and the hypotenuse is 12√2. 12 + 12√2 = original height of flagpole 12 + 12 • 1.4 12 + 16.8 28.8 feet The original height of the Flagpole was 28.8 feet. 45º 12√2 feet 12 feet 90º 45º 12 feet

The EDGES of a prism are the line segments where the lateral faces intersect. A SPHERE is the set of all points at a given distance from a given point. The altitude of a pyramid is a PERPENDICULAR segment from the VERTEX to the plane of the base. An object’s density is calculated by dividing the MASS of the object by its VOLUME.
