The number of similar triangles created when an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
What is 3?
The solution for solving a triangle given leg lengths 12 and 5. (Round all side lengths and angle measurements to the nearest tenth)
What are side lengths 5, 12, and 13; and angle measurements 22.6, 67.4, and 90?
The altitude to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of the altitude is the geometric mean of these two segments.
What is the Altitude Theorem (Rule)? (Geometric Mean)
The formula to find the hypotenuse in a 45-45-90 degree triangle.
What is L times the square root of 2?
In a right triangle, the altitude divides the hypotenuse into segments of 4 and 9. Find the length of the altitude.
What is 6? or sqrt(4*9)?
The missing leg length, given an angle of 52 degrees and the adjacent leg length of 12.5. (Round to the nearest whole number)
What is 16?
The formula for finding the hypotenuse in a 30-60-90 degree triangle.
What is 2s (two times s)?
This theorem states that each leg of the right triangle is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to that leg.
What is the Leg Theorem (Rule)? (Geometric Mean)
The formula for finding the length of the longer leg in a 30-60-90 degree triangle.
What is s times the square root of 3?
If the altitude to the hypotenuse is 8 and one segment of the hypotenuse is 4, find the length of the other segment of the hypotenuse.
What is 16? (82 = 4x)
The solution of a triangle given a leg length of 45 and a hypotenuse length of 75. (Round all angle measurements to the nearest whole degree, and all side lengths to the nearest tenth)
What are angle measurements 37, 53, and 90 degrees; and side lengths 45, 60, and 75.
