 ideas for implementation

Print & Go
Page 3 has the Print & Go version. Print single-
sided.

Tip: Print on colored paper. This will allow

students to find the cheat sheet easily.

Fill-in-the-blank
Page 4 has the fill-in-the-blank version. Print
single-sided.

Allow time for students to fill-in-the-blanks.

Suggestion: Have students work independently
without any aids for a few minutes, then allow
students to use notes, or to work with a partner
or in a group to complete.

Project the answers using the Google Slides

Presentation! (Or follow the directions on slide 2
to convert to a PowerPoint presentation)

Color Code!
Give your students access to colored pencils
and/or highlighters to color code key information.
You can use the print & go or fill-in-the-blank
option.

Tip: Print on white paper for this option.

 right triangles cheat sheet
Vocabulary Special Right Triangles
Hypotenuse – the side opposite 45-45-90 Triangle 30-60-90 Triangle
the 90° angle; the longest side
of a right triangle

Legs – the 2 sides of a right

triangle that are not the
hypotenuse

Opposite Side – the side across

from an angle
Adjacent side – the side next to
an angle, not the hypotenuse
-Triangle is isosceles
-Legs (sides opposite 45° ∠s)
are “x”
-Hypotenuse is x√2
-The shorter leg (opposite the
30° ∠) is “x”
-The longer leg (opposite the
60° ∠) is x√3
-The hypotenuse is 2x
