This math topic focuses on finding missing side lengths of 30-60-90 triangles using the relationships between the sides derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The problems require students to apply knowledge of specific triangle side ratios (1:√3:2) to solve for either the medium side or the hypotenuse when only one side length is given. This practice is nested within a broader study of Pythagoras’ theorem, enhancing understanding of right-angle triangle properties. Each question involves problem-solving where students utilize algebraic manipulation and familiar geometric principles to find the desired length.
