Can your class solve right triangles and identify the properties common to right triangles? They will investigate and state the relationship between the altitude to the hypotenuse and the two segments of the hypotenuse formed by the...

Why are right triangles so special? Pupils begin their study of right triangles by examining similar right triangles. Verifying through proofs, scholars recognize the three similar right triangles formed by drawing the altitude. Once...

Tenth graders solve problems using the tangent of angles using the flagpole and its shadow as references.

Students are introduced to the basic trigonometric identities. Using a diagram, they discover why the parts of the unit circle as named as they are and use equations to finalize the Pythagorean trigonometric identities. They also review...

Students cut an index card to create three similar right triangles and explore the congruencies and proportions that exist. They investigate the properties of lines and concepts of congruency, similarity, tangency and symmetry of...

In this geometry worksheet, students are given a rectangle and a square. They verify ratios when given equal perimeters or areas. Students are given adjacent squares. They find the distance between the centers, and identify the means...
