Geometry and Algebra Connection Find the value of the missing angles in the following triangles. 64. 88 x x 65. x (x 30) 66. x 2x (x + 10)
Do you know the Pythagorean Theorem? It is used to find the missing side length of any right triangle. a c Formula: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Leg 2 + Leg 2 = Hypotenuse 2 b Ex. 1: If a = 5m, b = 12m, c =? Ex. 2: If a = 10 cm, c = 15 cm, b =? a 2 + b 2 = c 2 a 2 + b 2 = c 2 5 2 + 12 2 = c 2 10 2 + b 2 = 15 2 25 + 144 = c 2, so c 2 = 169 100 + b 2 = 225 169 = c, c = 13 m Subtr.100 from both sides to get b 2 = 125 125 = 11.2, so b = 11.2 cm Find the missing side length. 67. 68. x 8 x 15 25 6 69.
