5th blog [FINAL]

Alright everybody!today is the last and final blog i am making. so thank you for reading my blog and i hope you know all things we had learned.so for the final question i will be investigating is if two of the side length are double or triple what will be the angle and the pattern of the hypotenuse.
if you remember what happen in the last blog, like when the two side are the same what will be the angle. its the same thing but a little different and i will tell you why. so when the side length are double angle B is always 27 degree and angle C is always 63 degree and the hypotenuse goes by the square root of 5 and it will be a 27-68-90 triangle. When the side are triple angle B is always 18 degree and angle C is always 72 degree and the hypotenuse pattern goes by the square root of 10 and it will be a 18-72-90 triangle. the way i founded this investigation out is that i went on some sites about triangle and make my own triangle i did some data until i have a pattern which i did. then i wrote them down and make a table which you see below.

4.47

366.712763
488.942763

51515.811872
61818.971872


i want to go up to the quadruplet table but i don't have much time to do that. so the angle b decrease and stay the same number even though the side doubled or triple or quadruplet and etc. and so will angle C and it will increase as much when the side is getting bigger.also the hypotenuse increase by the square root of 5 when the side get higher. so for the next question for you is if all the side length change into different measurement what will happen to the angle?

  1. a 18-72-90 triangle is what you get when you bisect the vertex angle of the Golden Triangle. What special about it is that its alt./base is equal to the Golden Ratio(square root of 5 plus one divided by two. Its base angles are 72, vertex is 36 degrees. if anyone wants further info mssge me.
