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. You will be finding the lengths of buildings and bridges that are 30 60 90 and 45 45 90 triangles.
Task
This webquest will teach you how to find sides and angles of 30 60 90 triangles and 45 45 90 triangles. You will be attempting to create a bridge with these two types of triangles.
Process
This webquest should be completed within 1 day, and done alone.
1. Define these words:
Hypotenuse
Opposite
Adjacent
Sine
Cosine
Tangent
2. Make a venn diagram comparing and contasting 30 60 90 and 45 45 90 triangles and how you solve for the sides and angles of both of them.
4. Create 45 45 90 triangles and a 30 60 90 triangles and solve for all sides and angles using SOH CAH TOA.
5. Create a bridge using 30 60 90 triangles and another with 45 45 90 triangles.
6. Present completed work on a poster or powerpoint
7. Explain your project to the class

Conclusion
In this webquest you have properly learned how to solve 30 60 90 and 45 45 90 triangles sides, angles and proprerly distinguish them from eachother. You have also learned how to apply SOH CAH TOA to identify missing sides of special right triangles.
