In a 45° - 45° - 90° triangle, Determine the exact value of the expression sec 30° + cot
60°.
the legs are congruent
the length of the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of a leg Solution:
Example 2:
1 √2
= (2)2 + ( 2 )2
Example 1: Find the length of the indicated side.
1 2
=4+4
3
=4
Example 3:
the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter = (√2)2 + 1
leg
the length of the shorter leg is √3 times the length of the = 2+1
shorter leg
=3
hypotenuse = 2 shorter leg
longer leg = √3 shorter leg
