1 |
It's not √2... |
|
|
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a basic 45-45-90 special right triangle? |
√2 |
It's not 1... |
|
|
In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the length of the short leg is 3, the hypotenuse is... |
6 |
The ratio from the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:2 (You double the short leg) |
|
|
In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the length of the short leg is 3, the long leg is... (LARF) |
3√3 |
The ratio from the short leg to the long leg is 1:√3 (You multiply the short leg by √3) |
|
|
In a 45-45-90 triangle, if the length of one of the sides is 5, the hypotenuse is...(LARF) |
5√2 |
The ratio from the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:√2 (You multiply the leg by √2) |
|
|
In a 45-45-90 triangle, if the hypotenuse is 7√2, the leg is... |
7 |
The ratio from the hypotenuse to the leg is √2:1 (You divide the hypotenuse by √2) |
|
|
In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the length of the hypotenuse is 8, the short leg is... |
4 |
The ratio from the hypotenuse to the short leg is 2:1 (You divide the hypotenuse by 2) |
|
|
In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the length of the hypotenuse is 8, the long leg is...(LARF) |
4√3 |
This one's a little trickier...The ratio from the hypotenuse to the short leg is 2:1 (You divide the hypotenuse by 2) THEN the ratio from the short leg to the long leg 1:√3 (Multiply the short leg by √3) |
|
|
In a 45-45-90 triangle, if the hypotenuse is 5, the leg is...(LARF) |
(5√2)/2 |
This one's a little trickier...The ratio from the hypotenuse to the leg is √2:1 (You divide the hypotenuse by √2) REMEMBER...you can't leave a radical in the denominator! |
|
|
In a 45-45-90 triangle, if the leg is 2√3, the hypotenuse is...(LARF) |
2√6 |
The ratio from the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:√2 (You multiply the leg by √2) REMEMBER, when you multiply with radicals, only multiply the numbers inside of radicals together. |
|
|
In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the length of the long leg is 5, the short leg is... |
(5√3)/3 |
This one's a little trickier...The ratio from the long leg to the short leg is √3:1 (You divide the hypotenuse by √3) REMEMBER...you can't leave a radical in the denominator! |
