30º-60º-90º Triangles Theorem 72: In a triangle whose angles have the measures of 30º, 60º, and 90º, the lengths of the sides opposite these angles can be represented by x, , and 2x respectively. (30º-60º-90º-Triangle Theorem) 30º 2x 60º x
Find BC and AC. • Place x, , and 2x on the diagram. • 2x = 10x = 5 • BC = 5 • AC = A 2x = 10 10 C 60º B x
45º-45º-90º Triangles Theorem 73:In a triangle whose angles have the measures of 45º, 45º, and 90º, the lengths of the sides opposite these angles can be represented by x, x, and , respectively. (45º-45º-90º-Triangle Theorem) x 45º x 45º
MOPR is a square. Find MP. • The diagonal divides the square into two 45º-45º-90º triangles. • Place x, x, and on the corresponding parts of the triangle. • Since x = 9, • MP = R M 9 x = 9 O P x
Find ST and TV. • Place x, x, and onto the diagram. T x S x 4 V 45º
