Special Right Triangles for $300
If in triangle ABC, AB = 10,
BC = 12 and CA = 9, which
angle has the greatest
measure?
Answer
Angle A has the greatest
measure because it is opposite
side BC, which is the longest
side.

Special Right Triangles for $400
Solve for x and y
Answer
Since the triangle is a 30-60-90,
30√(2) = 2y
x = y√(3)
y = 15√(2)
x = 15√(2)√(3)
x = 15√(6)

Answer
15 is the adjacent side to x
20 is the side opposite of x
25 is the length of the
hypotenuse
Cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse

12
Answer
We are given the opposite (12)
and the adjacent (22) sides to
x, so we will use tangent.
Since we are solving for the
angle, we use tan-1
tan-1(12/22) = x
x = 28.6°

Write the ratios for sin(x)
and cos(x)
Answer
Triangle XYZ is a right triangle, so the trig
functions apply
From angle X,
√(119) is the opposite side
5 is the adjacent side
12 is the hypotenuse
sin(x) = opp/hyp = √(119)/12
cos(x) = adj/hyp = 5/12
