Lesson Activity
Investigating the 30°-60°-90° Triangle
This activity will help you meet this educational goal:
You will investigate the
triangle and the extended ratio of its side lengths
to solve for missing lengths in geometric figures.
Directions
Read the instructions for this self-checked activity. Type in your response to each
question, and check your answers. At the end of the activity, write a brief evaluation
of your work.
Activity
In this activity, you will investigate the basis for the extended ratio of the
triangle. To investigate the ratio, we will use an equilateral triangle with a
side length of 2. Proceed to part A to begin.
Part A
On triangle , draw the altitude from vertex A to side . (Recall that an altitude is
perpendicular to the line to which it is drawn.) Use the text box tool to label the point
where the altitude meets side
as point D. Then, determine the measures of
and , and the length of . Using the text box tool, label the drawing with

An altitude is perpendicular to the line to which it is drawn, thus forming a right
angle. So
is
. Since the angle measures in a triangle sum to
,
is
.
Triangles
and
are congruent by the HL theorem since
and
is congruent to itself by the reflexive property. By CPCTC then,
. For
the two sides to be congruent and their sum to be 2 (since
), they both
must have a length of 1. So

Part C
Which extended ratio represents the relationship between the side lengths of
triangle
from the previous parts?
Select the correct answer.
Explanation:
From part A, we know that
and
.
From part B, the Pythagorean theorem revealed the length of
.
This information establishes the extended ratio of the side lengths for triangle
as .
