1
Special Right Triangles, Nets, Complementary and Supplementary Angles, and Dilations
2
Special Right Triangles There are two special right triangles! We will use the Pythagorean Theorem to discover the relationships between the sides of the two special triangles.
3
Isosceles Right Triangle Conjecture or 45-45-90 Rule In an isosceles right triangle, if the legs have length s, then the hypotenuse has length _______ Think: side – side – side
4
Lets try a few: Find the missing sides 1) 2) x x 16 52 yy 52= x
5
The other special triangle is a If you fold an equilateral triangle along one of its altitudes you get a 30-60-90 triangle. Therefore, a 30-60-90 triangle is one half an equilateral triangle so it appears in math and engineering frequently as well. 60 30 Side across from 30 o is the shortest side, AIMS reference calls this side ____ Side across from 60 o is the medium side Side across from 90 o is the hypotenuse
6
30-60-90 Triangle Conjecture In a 30-60-90 triangle, (easy as 1, 2, 3) if the shorter side has length s, (think 1s) then the hypotenuse has length _____and the longer leg has length ______ 30 60 Think: side – side – 2 · side

Complement and Supplement A pair of has a sum of 90°. A pair of has a sum of 180°. 1 2 20° 70° A B 34 30° 150° C D complementary angles supplementary angles
10
Warm-Up: Dilations Where have you heard the word “dilate” before? What does it mean? To make wider or larger; cause to expand Eyes – more light, pupils get smaller
11
1. Dilations non-rigid SIMILAR Dilation: A non-rigid transformation in which the pre-image and the image are SIMILAR Dilations preserve angle measure, orientation, and collinearity Side length changes
12
Nets The two-dimensional representation of all the faces of a 3-dimensional figure What a 3-D figure would look like if you “unfold it”
13
Types of Nets Triangular Prism
14
Square Prism

16
Triangular Pyramid
17
