Special Right Triangles Section 1.1 Day 2 Essential Question: What is the relationship between the lengths of the edges in a 30°–60°–90° triangle? Standard: MM2G1a, b
5
Investigation 2: With your partner, complete the following regarding equilateral ABC where AB =10: Step 1: Label the length of each edge. Step 2: Label the measure of B and C. Step 3: Using a straightedge, draw and label altitude. Step 4: Label the length of and. Step 5: Label the measure of BAD and CAD. Step 6: Label the measure of ADC. Step 7: Using the Pythagorean Theorem, find AD.

Investigation 2: Note: the two legs of a 30 o -60 o -90 o triangle are NOT equal in measure. The longer leg will always be opposite the ___ o angle. The shorter leg will always be opposite the ___ o angle. 60 30
8
Consider the 30 o -60 o -90 o right triangle created from an equilateral triangle pictured at right. (2). The long leg is segment ______ and the short leg is segment _______. (3). Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find RT. RT ST 12 6 60° 30° R TS

Application problems: (8). Find the exact perimeter of square ABDC if FB = 22 meters P = 4s P = 4 P = A F B C D 22 45 o
19
60° 30° Formula Sheet: Length of long leg = length short leg ∙ _____ Length of hypotenuse = length short leg ∙ _____ Length of short leg = length long leg ÷ ______ Length of short leg = length hypotenuse ÷ ______
20
Pythagorean Theorem: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 7 2 + x 2 = 102 49 + x 2 = 100 x 2 = 51 x = 7 10 x
21
Triangle Sum Property: Sum of interior s = _____ 25° 30° x°x° x = 180 o – 25 o – 30 o = 125 o
22
Linear Pair: x = 180 o – 120 o = 60 o 120° x°x°
