Special Right Triangles Investigation
For t = 45 degrees, record the lengths for sides b and c as you move the slider for a. When you are done, move the slider for t to 60 degrees and record the side lengths for b and c.
1. How do the legs of the 45 degree triangle relate to each other?
2. How does the hypotenuse of the 45 degree triangle relate to the legs?
3. How does the longer leg of the 60 degree triangle relate to the shorter leg?
4. How does the hypotenuse of the 60 degree triangle relate to the shorter leg?
