Takeaways

• 😀 Special triangles are right-angled triangles where only one side length is known, unlike the Pythagorean theorem where two sides are provided.
• 😀 A 30°-60°-90° triangle has a side ratio of 1:√3:2 (opposite 30°: opposite 60°: hypotenuse).
• 😀 In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the legs are equal, and the ratio of the sides is 1:1:√2 (legs: hypotenuse).
• 😀 The main difference between special triangles and the Pythagorean theorem is that only one side is given in special triangles.
• 😀 To solve problems involving 30°-60°-90° triangles, you multiply the known side by the appropriate ratio (1, √3, or 2).
• 😀 For 30°-60°-90° triangles, if the hypotenuse is known, the legs can be calculated by halving the hypotenuse or multiplying it by √3/2.
• 😀 For 45°-45°-90° triangles, if the legs are known, the hypotenuse is calculated by multiplying the leg by √2.
• 😀 Special triangle problems involve using specific ratios to find unknown side lengths based on given angles.
• 😀 The instructor demonstrates using examples of both triangle types to find missing sides, showcasing the simplicity of the method once the ratios are known.
• 😀 Memorizing the ratios for each type of special triangle is essential for quick and efficient problem-solving in trigonometry.

Q & A

What is a special triangle (segitiga istimewa)?

A special triangle is a method used to calculate the length of one side of a right triangle when only one side length is known. It is different from the Pythagorean Theorem, where two side lengths are known.

How is a special triangle different from the Pythagorean theorem?

In the Pythagorean theorem, two side lengths are given, and the third is calculated. In a special triangle, only one side length is known, and the sides are determined using specific ratios.

What is the specific angle configuration of a special triangle in this script?

The special triangle discussed in this script has angles of 30°, 60°, and 90°.

What is the relationship between the sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle?

For a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the sides are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2. The side opposite the 30° angle is 1, opposite the 60° angle is √3, and the hypotenuse is 2.

What is the formula for the sides of an isosceles right triangle (45°-45°-90°)?

In a 45°-45°-90° isosceles right triangle, the two legs are equal in length, and the ratio of the legs to the hypotenuse is 1 : 1 : √2.

How do you calculate the length of side PQ in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, given the hypotenuse is 20 cm?

For a 30°-60°-90° triangle with the hypotenuse of 20 cm, the side opposite the 30° angle (PQ) is calculated by dividing the hypotenuse by 2, resulting in PQ = 10 cm.

How is the length of PR determined in the 30°-60°-90° triangle in the example?

The length of PR, which is opposite the 60° angle, is found by multiplying the hypotenuse by √3/2. In this case, PR = 10√3 cm.

What is the method for finding the side length of an isosceles right triangle (45°-45°-90°)?

In an isosceles right triangle (45°-45°-90°), if one leg is known (8 cm), the other leg is the same, and the hypotenuse is found by multiplying the leg length by √2, so the hypotenuse is 8√2 cm.

What is the process to calculate side ML in the isosceles right triangle with legs of 8 cm?

To find ML in the 45°-45°-90° triangle, multiply the leg length (8 cm) by √2. The result is ML = 8√2 cm.

What is the importance of knowing the ratios in special triangles when solving for side lengths?

Knowing the ratios of side lengths in special triangles (like 1 : √3 : 2 for a 30°-60°-90° triangle) simplifies the process of finding missing side lengths, as it eliminates the need for complicated calculations and allows for straightforward multiplication or division.
