Thrm. 9.4: 45-45-90 triangle thereom:
Hypotenuse=
*Leg x √2
* In a 4: 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is √2 times as long as each leg.
- Thrm 9.5: 30-60-90 triangle thrm.:
- Hypotenuse= shorter leg x ___
- Longer leg= shorter leg x _____
- In a 30 60 90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the longer leg is √3 x as long as the shorter leg.
- 2
- √3
Opposite (0)
The side across from the reference triangle
Adjacent (A)
Side next to angle
Hypotenuse (H)
Longest side
