LEARNERS MATERIAL
The students of Grade IX-Joule designed this
learning material to familiarize the students with
the relations among the sides of 30-60-90
triangles.
We are looking forward for your feedback and
recommendations.

known, the length of the other two
sides can be computed. There are
factors to be used to arrive at the
lengths of the two sides if the length of
any of the shorter leg, longer leg and
the hypotenuse is given. You have to
memorize the values 3, 1/3, , 2,
3/2 and 2/3 and know when they are
to be used.

Given a 30-60-90 triangle, Relations
among the sides exist.
The shorter leg is of the hypotenuse
or the hypotenuse is twice the shorter
leg.
The shorter leg is 1/3 times the longer N I
leg or the longer leg is 3 times the Given: Triangle WIN
shorter leg.
m of W=30, m of I=60, m of =90
The longer leg is 3/2 times the
1. If WI=12 cm find WN and NI
hypotenuse or the hypotenuse is 2/3
times the longer leg. Solution:
Other matters to consider: WI is the hypotenuse hence the longer
leg WN=3/2 WI=3/2 12= 3 and NI=
The shorter leg is the leg opposite the

30 angle.
The longer leg is opposite the 60 angle.
2. If WN=18 cm find NI and WI SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
Solution: Given: Triangle YES is a 30-60-90,
WN is the longer leg hence the mY=60, mE=30 and mS=90.
