Special right triangles

Introduction

  In this webquest your going to learn how to find the measurments of special right triangles. You will be finding the sides measurments of 45 45 90 triangles and 30 60 90 triangles. You will do this using the theorems you have learned and applying them to real world problems.

Task

1. Define these words:

Hypotenuse

Opposite 

Adjacent

Sine

Cosine

Tangent

2. Draw a 45 45 90 triangle with a given side of 8 and find the hypotenuse.

3. Draw a 30 60 90 triangle with the smalest side being 6 and find the other two sides.

4. Create your own examples of a 45 45 90 triangle and a 30 60 90 triangle and solve for all sides.

5. Use your knowledge on 30 60 90 and 45 45 90 triangles to find
