    The document discusses properties of two types of special right triangles: 45-45-90 triangles and 30-60-90 triangles. It provides examples of using the properties of these triangles to find unknown side lengths. These include using the relationships that for a 45-45-90 triangle the hypotenuse is √2 times a leg and for a 30-60-90 triangle the hypotenuse is 2 times the shorter leg. It also applies these concepts to real-world problems involving crafts and manufacturing. A quiz at the end reviews finding unknowns and measurements in these two special right triangle types.

    5-8 Applying Special Right Triangles

    A diagonal of a square divides it into two congruent


    isosceles right triangles. Since the base angles of an
    isosceles triangle are congruent, the measure of
    each acute angle is 45°. So another name for an
    isosceles right triangle is a 45°-45°-90° triangle.

    A 45°-45°-90° triangle is one type of special right


    triangle. You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to
    find a relationship among the side lengths of a 45°-
    45°-90° triangle.

    Example 1A: Finding Side Lengths in a 45°- 45º- 90º
    Triangle

    Find the value of x. Give your


    answer in simplest radical form.

    By the Triangle Sum Theorem, the


    measure of the third angle in the
    triangle is 45°. So it is a 45°-45°-
    90° triangle with a leg length of 8.

    Example 2: Craft Application
    Jana is cutting a square of material for a
    tablecloth. The table’s diagonal is 36 inches.
    She wants the diagonal of the tablecloth to be
    an extra 10 inches so it will hang over the
    edges of the table. What size square should
    Jana cut to make the tablecloth? Round to the
    nearest inch.
    Jana needs a 45°-45°-90° triangle with a hypotenuse
    of 36 + 10 = 46 inches.

    an equilateral triangle. The length of
    each side is 6 centimeters. Josh will
    attach the fastener to the back along
    AB. Will the fastener fit if it is 4
    centimeters long?

    Step 1 The equilateral triangle is divided into two


    30°-60°-90° triangles.

    The height of the triangle is the length of the


    longer leg.

    Step 2 Find the length x of the shorter leg.


    6 = 2x Hypotenuse = 2(shorter leg)
    3=x Divide both sides by 2.
    Step 3 Find the length h of the longer leg.

    The pin is approximately 5.2 centimeters high.
