  11. Concept

  12. Find the Hypotenuse Length in a 45°-45°-90° Triangle A. Find x. The given angles of this triangle are 45° and 90°. This makes the third angle 45°, since 180 – 45 – 90 = 45. Thus, the triangle is a 45°-45°-90° triangle. Example 1

  14. Find the Hypotenuse Length in a 45°-45°-90° Triangle B. Find x. The legs of this right triangle have the same measure, x, so it is a 45°-45°-90° triangle. Use the 45°-45°-90° Triangle Theorem. Example 1

  21. Concept

  22. Find Lengths in a 30°-60°-90° Triangle Find x and y. The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary, so the measure of the third angle is 90 – 30 or 60. This is a 30°-60°-90° triangle. Example 3

  26. Use Properties of Special Right Triangles QUILTINGA quilt has the design shown in the figure, in which a square is divided into 8 isosceles right triangles. If the length of one side of the square is 3 inches, what are the dimensions of each triangle? Example 4

  27. Use Properties of Special Right Triangles Analyze You know that the length of the side of the square equals 3 inches. You need to find the length of the side and hypotenuse of one isosceles right triangle. Formulate Find the length of one side of the isosceles right triangle, and use the 45°-45°-90° Triangle Theorem to find the hypotenuse. Example 4

  28. Use Properties of Special Right Triangles Determine Divide the length of the side of the square by 2 to find the length of the side of one triangle. 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5 So the side length is 1.5 inches. 45°-45°-90° Triangle Theorem Substitution Example 4

  29. Answer: The side length is 1.5 inches and the hypotenuse is ? ? 2.25 + 2.25 = 4.5 Use Properties of Special Right Triangles Justify Use the Pythagorean Theorem to check the dimensions of the triangle. 4.5 = 4.5  Evaluate We used the properties of special triangles. Our answer seems reasonable. Example 4
