2. Special Right Triangles
Sign In
Divide the given triangle into two right triangles. Do you have a 30^(∘)-60^(∘)-90^(∘) or a 45^(∘)-45^(∘)-90^(∘) triangle?
a=10sqrt(3), b=5sqrt(3), c=15, d=5
Let's divide the given triangle into two right triangles.
We will deal with these triangles one at a time. Let's start with the second one.
The first right triangle has an angle that measures 30^(∘). Therefore, by the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem the measure of the third angle is 60^(∘). Remember, we already know that b=5sqrt(3).
