Objective:I will use similarity to find missing sides in right triangles created using altitudes. I will find missing sides of special right triangles using proportions. G.5.D
Language: I will label sides and angles to properly set up proportions. I will use "corresponding", "adjacent" and "opposite" in describing relationships.
Journal: Why do you think they chose the 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles to be special right triangles?
