Right Triangles

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

In this right triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 5 problems that relate to different right triangles. First, they find the values of x and y so that each triangle is congruent to the other. Then, students write a two-column proof given the information, including writing the statements and their reasons for each statement.
