Warm-up 1.) What types of triangles have you studied? What are characteristics of each one? 2.) Given 2 sides of a triangle find the third side a.)b.) c.) 3.) What is the name a theorem you might have used to solve these? When do you use it?

2.) Given 2 sides of a triangle find the third side a.) Use Pythagorean THM. OR notice that triangle is isosceles & Right => 45/45/90. We’ll come back to this method of solving in today’s lesson

2.) Given 2 sides of a triangle find the third side b.) USE PYTHAGOREAN THM

2.) Given 2 sides of a triangle find the third side c.) USE PYTHAGOREAN THM OR NOTICE that this is a 30/60/90 triangle Stay tuned for this method.

3.) What is the name a theorem you might have used to solve these? PYTHAGOREAN THM When do you use it? WITH RIGHT TRIANGLES ONLY

Area of Triangles: = ½ b*h b is length of the base h is height of triangle

Area of Triangles: = ½ b*h ANY TRIANGLE:

Area of Triangles: = ½ b*h Height may be outside triangle
