If we have an isosceles right triangle whose two equal sides or legs measure
one unit, then using Pythagorean relation,
𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2
𝐴𝐵2 + 𝐴𝐶2 = 𝐵𝐶2
𝐵𝐶 = √AB 2 + AC2
𝐵𝐶 = √1 + 1
Therefore, 𝐵𝐶 = √2
The triangle is a special triangle 45° − 45° − 90°.
DEFINITION:
𝟒𝟓° − 𝟒𝟓° − 𝟗𝟎° Triangle is a right triangle where the interior angles are
45°, 45°, and 90° and the sides of which are always in the ratio 1:1:√2
7
Using the Pythagorean relation,
𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2
𝐴𝐷2 = 𝐴𝐵2 − 𝐵𝐷2
𝐴𝐷 = √AB 2– BD2
𝐴𝐷 = √4 − 1
𝐴𝐷 = √3
DEFINITION:
𝟑𝟎° − 𝟔𝟎° − 𝟗𝟎° Triangle is a right triangle where the interior angles are
30°, 60°, and 90° and the sides are in the ratio 1: 2: √3 .
The three significant angles that were acquired from the previous activity
“What’s New” are 30°, 45° and 60°. These angles are referred to as the
special angles which can be illustrated as special right triangles.

Hint: Remember the concept of reciprocals from “What’s In” part? The table
can be easily completed using the concept of reciprocals. The 2 nd and 3rd
columns are reciprocals, same with 4th and 5th as well as 6th and 7th. Also,
recall the figure 6 from “What Is It” part for the illustration of Special Triangles.
