RIGHT TRIANGLE

CONGRUENCE
IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING:
1. It is a triangle that has two sides of equal
length. ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
2. The angle formed by two equal sides of an
isosceles triangle. VERTEX ANGLE

3. The angle that involve the base of an

isosceles triangle BASE ANGLE
IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING:
4. The two equal sides of an isosceles
triangle. LEGS

5. The third and unequal side. BASE

 SOLVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. What is the measure of the angles if its
base angles measures (x + 5) and the vertex
angle measures (3x + 10)

VERTEX ANGLE = 106 degrees

BASE ANGLE = 37 degrees

 It is a type of triangle that has one of its
angles is equal to 90 degrees.
 PARTS OF RIGHT TRIANGLE
 It is the sides that include the right angle
 It is also known as the base and perpendicular

LEGS or ALTITUDE

LEGS or BASE
 PARTS OF RIGHT TRIANGLE
 It is the longest side of the right triangle
and is the side opposite the right angle.

HYPOTENUSE
 PROPERTIES OF RIGHT TRIANGLE
 One angle is always 90 degrees or right angle
 The side opposite the angle of 90 degrees is the
hypotenuse
 The hypotenuse is always the longest side
 The sum of the other two interior angles is equal to 90
degrees
 The other two sides adjacent to the right angle are called
base and perpendicular
