Furthering our triangle solver skills...

Today we learned more about how to solve the side lengths for a 30-60-90 degree triangle. We found out that no matter how BIG or small our triangle is,we can always use the ratio proportions of 2 as a measurement for our hypotenuse, 1 as our measurement for the leg that runs up and down, and the square root of 3 as the measurement for the leg that runs side-to-side. We can always use this equation to solve the side measurements of our traingle. We can use these skills to further complete our accelerated math worksheet.








We can always use the ratio of 1, 2, and the square root of 3 to solve our problems. Here we're showing the equation and how to solve.

















Showing the relation between similar triangles. As long as the triangles have the same degree amounts, the triangle will always be similar.










How to apply what we know and put it into an equation.
