if you know the side length of a right triangle how will you know the angles? This is the investigation which i will be solving now. okay. i hope you already know that to find the side in a right triangle which you have to use the Pythagorean Therom, the equation of that is a2+b2=c2. side a is the short leg and side b is the long leg. Also side c is the hypotenuse of the traingle.
now that you know how to find side of the of the triangle. but the real question is to find the angles of the right triangle when you know the side. it's not easy to find it but you already know that one of the angle is always 90 degree so we already find one of the angles. but what about the other two angles? well, if you keep the 90 degree and one of the side the same and change other side how will the angles change. for example side one is one and it will always be the same length. but in side two it will always change like one centimeter and two centimeter and three and so on and so forth. in that data the hypotenuse is getting bigger and bigger. so in angle b it's getting smaller and in angle c it's getting so big each time the the side change.
so the answer of this investigation is that each time the side change in a right triangle the angle a will always be 90 but angle b will become smaller and angle c will become bigger .
Is there any pattern to how the hypotenuse changes? How about the angles? Could you predict what would happen if you changed the side in a particular way? What if you doubled one side; would the hypotenuse double? What would happen to the angles?
ReplyDeletethe hypotenuse becomes bigger each time the triangle change.i predict that angle B will becomes smaller and angle c will become bigger when the side change.yes! the hypotenuse will be twice as big when one of the side double.in angle b it get smaller but in angle c it get bigger then before when the side is double.
