This math topic focuses on solving problems related to 45/45/90 triangles, specifically finding the relationship between the hypotenuse and the short sides using principles of Pythagorean theorem. It enhances students’ understanding of right triangles, trigonometric ratios, and square root operations. Each problem includes a diagram of a triangle and requires calculation to find a missing length, either by deriving it as a multiple or fraction of known dimensions. Given answers are expressed in simplified radical forms, further practicing algebraic simplification and manipulation skills.
