Pythagorean theorem & Special Right Triangles Formulas Flashcards
Special right triangles 45-45-90 to find the leg:
leg= hyp/sqrt(2)
Special right triangles 45-45-90 to find the leg:
leg= hyp/sqrt(2)
Special right triangles 45-45-90 to find the hypotenuse:
hyp=leg * sqt 2
Special right triangles 30-60-90 to find hypotenuse:
hypt=short l*2
Special right triangles 30-60-90 to find long leg:
long leg= short l * sqt 3
Special right triangles 30-60-90 to find short leg:
short leg= hyp/2
how to solve for Pythagorean theorem ?
c^2=a^2+b^2
obtuse Pythagorean theorem inequality formula:
c^2>a^2+b^2
How do you find whether a triangle is a triangle then if it is a right,obtuse, acute?
first add two numbers using the inequality sign, once you figure it out then see if it is more than the third if it is not then it is not a triangle don’t go further, second if it is then do the Pythagorean formula if it is not equal then determine whether it is acute or obtuse
