  30. 2 2 60° 60° 2 30°- 60°- 90° The 30-60-90 triangle is based on an equilateral triangle with sides of 2 units.

  31. 2 2 60° 60° 2 30°- 60°- 90° The altitude (also the angle bisector and median) cuts the triangle into two congruent triangles. 30° 30° 1 1

  32. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° This creates the 30-60-90 triangle with a hypotenuse a short leg and a long leg. Long Leg hypotenuse Short Leg

  33. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice We saw that the hypotenuse is twice the short leg. 2 We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the long leg. 1

  34. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice A2 + B2 = C2 A2 + 12 = 22 A2 + 1 = 4 A2 = 3 A = 3 2 3 1

  35. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Conclusion: the ratio of the sides in a 30-60-90 triangle is 1- 2 - 3 2 3 1

  36. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice The key is to find the length of the short side. 8 43 Hypotenuse = short leg * 2 4 Long Leg = short leg *3

  37. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 10 Hypotenuse = short leg * 2 53 5 Long Leg = short leg *3

  38. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 14 Hypotenuse = short leg * 2 73 7 Long Leg = short leg *3

  39. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 23 Hypotenuse = short leg * 2 3 3 Long Leg = short leg *3

  40. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 210 30 Hypotenuse = short leg * 2 10 Long Leg = short leg *3

  41. 30°- 60°- 90° Practice Now Let's Go Backward

  42. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 22 Short Leg = Hypotenuse 2 113 11 Long Leg = short leg *3

  43. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 4 Short Leg = Hypotenuse 2 23 2 Long Leg = short leg *3

  44. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 18 Short Leg = Hypotenuse 2 93 9 Long Leg = short leg *3

  45. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 30 Short Leg = Hypotenuse 2 153 15 Long Leg = short leg *3

  46. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 46 Hypotenuse = Short Leg * 2 233 23 Short Leg = Long leg 3

  47. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 28 Hypotenuse = Short Leg * 2 143 14 Short Leg = Long leg 3

  48. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 32 Hypotenuse = Short Leg * 2 163 16 Short Leg = Long leg 3

  49. 30° 60° 30°- 60°- 90° Practice 63 Hypotenuse = Short Leg * 2 9 3 3 Short Leg = Long leg 3
