Chapter 6 Content:

  • Recognize and apply the side ratios in 30°- 60°- 90° triangles and 45°- 45°- 90° triangles, as in problems 6-6, 6-19(b) and (d), 6-33(d), 6-44, 6-56, and CL 6-109. Problems may present triangles independently or joined as part of a larger shape.
  • Recognize the smallest Pythagorean Triples and use them as shortcuts to determine missing side lengths in other triangles, as in problems 6-19(a) and (c), 6-43, 6-63, and CL 6-110.
  • Rewriting fractional exponents and solving exponent problems involving fractional exponents, as in problems 6-42, 6-62, 6-85, 6-101, and CL 6-111.
  • Determine the area and/or perimeter of a shape where they will need to use their knowledge of trigonometry or special right triangles to calculate missing lengths, as in problems 6-6, 6-44, 6-63, 6-91, and CL 6-114.
