I/D1: Unit O - Derive the SRTS



1.Inquiry Activity Summary

For this activity we are asked to find how to the srt of special right triangles. We see that we are given that the side us equal to 1.We are able to get the values that is the formula. We see that the variable n is in a relationship with all sides that have a connection together.





O
We have an equilateral triangle whose sides equal 1. For us to get the sides ,we have to cut the triangle in half . It gives us a 30,60,90 triangle. We see what we have and notice right away that one side of the triangle is split in one half . So we have two 1/2's and a 1 side We can use the Pythagorean theorem to help gwt the other values.




Inquiry Activity Reflection

Something I never noticed before about special right triangles I that the triangle value works for any triangle that has limited information.
