A. PREPARATION

1. Prayer
To start our class, let us all stand for a
prayer.
2. Greetings Good morning, ma’am!
Good morning, class.
3. Checking of Attendance
Say present as I call your name.
4. Review
How do you solve right triangles? To SOLVE A RIGHT TRIANGLE means to
know all three sides and all three
angles. When we know the ratios of
the sides, we use the method of similar
Very good! figures.
B. MOTIVATION

But before we proceed, let’s have first

angle of the triangle.
Okay, what are the measures of the
angles that you have? The measures of the angles of the
triangle are 30O, 60o and 90O
Very good!
C. PRESENTATION
This afternoon, you’re going to define
the two types of special right triangle
and find the length of the side using the
two special right triangle.
D. DISCUSSION
The first type of special right triangle is;
A 30O, 60o and 90O right triangle is a
special type of right triangle where the
three angles measure 30, 60 and 90
degrees.

30O, 60o and 90O Right Triangle

Theorem, the length of the hypotenuse
is twice the length of the shorter leg.
And the length of the longer leg is
√3times the shorter leg.

Let’s take this example,

The hypotenuse is equal to twice the length of

the shorter leg, which is the side across from
the 30 degree angle. The longer leg, which is
across from the 60 degree angle, is equal to
multiplying the shorter leg by the square root of
3. This picture shows this relationship with
x representing the shorter leg.
 As you can see, the side opposite of 30𝑜
angle is what part of a triangle?

How about the side opposite the 60𝑜

angle? Shorter leg
Very good!
What about the side opposite of 90𝑜
angle? Longer leg
Bear in your minds, the 30𝑜 -60𝑜 -90𝑜

Did you get it? Hypotenuse
Good now let’s proceed for the second
type of special right triangle.
Yes Ma’am!
A 𝟒𝟓𝒐 ,𝟒𝟓𝒐 and 𝟗𝟎𝒐 right triangle is a
special type of right triangle where the
three angles measure 45, 45 and 90
degrees.

Theorem, the length of the hypotenuse
is √2 times as long as each leg.

Let’s take this example,

Note that it’s the shape of half a square, cut

along the square’s diagonal, and that it’s also
an isosceles triangle(both legs have the same
length). The following figure shows an example
of a 45°- 45°- 90° triangle. Note that
an isosceles right triangle must be
a 45°−45°−90°45°−45°−90° triangle.
E. APPLICATION
 1. Evaluate cos 60°.

Answer. For any problem involving

a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the student
should not use a table. The student
should sketch the triangle and place

is √2 times as long as each leg.

IV. EVALUATION

Answer the following problem.

 1. If the length of the leg opposite the 30° angle in a30°- 60° - 90° triangle is 21 cm, then the
length of the side opposite the 60° angle is?

2. If the length of the hypotenuse of a 30° - 60° - 90° triangle is 83−−√3 cm, then the length
of the leg opposite the 60°angle is?

3. Find the value of tan Q in right triangle PQR for x = 7 units, y = 24 units and a = 25 units.
