Essential Question: What is the relationship between the lengths of the edges in a 30°–60°–90° triangle?
Standard: MM2G1a, b
Investigation 2:
With your partner, complete the following regarding equilateral ABC where AB =10:
Step 1: Label the length of each edge.Step 2: Label the measure of B and C.Step 3: Using a straightedge, draw and label altitude . Step 4: Label the length of and .Step 5: Label the measure of BAD and CAD.Step 6: Label the measure of ADC.Step 7: Using the Pythagorean Theorem, find AD.
