Proving Conditions for

Special Right Triangles


Mathematics 9 Quarter 3:Week 7
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• prove the conditions for special right triangles.


• apply the theorems to show that given triangles are
similar
30°-60°-90° triangle
30°-60°-90° triangle
In the 30°-60°-90° triangle, the length
of the hypotenuse is twice the length
of the shorter leg. The length of the
longer leg is √3 times the length of
the shorter leg.

length of the hypotenuse = 2(length of the shorter leg)

length of the 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑔 = √3 (length of the 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑔)


An escalator lifts people to the second floor, 25 ft. above the first floor. The
escalator rises at a 30° angle. How far does a person travel from the foot to
the top of the escalator?

Similarity of Triangles

If two triangles are similar, then not


only their angles and sides are related
but also their perimeters, altitudes,
angle bisectors, and areas.
