OBJECTIVE:[#To apply the Pythagorean Theorem in several problem
situations #To investigate the special properties of a
30-60-90 triangle and an isosceles right triangle (45-45-90)

Special Right Triangles:Summary
- For 30-60-90 degree triangles.....
- The short leg is ALWAYS the side across from the 30-degree angle
- Hypotenuse= 2 * short leg
- Long Leg = Sqrt(3) * short leg
- For 45-45-90 degree triangles.....
- The triangle is isosceles.
- The two legs are congruent.
- Leg=Leg and Hypotenuse= sqrt(2) * leg
