Right Triangle

A triangle in which one
angle is equal to 90 is
called right triangle.
 The side opposite to the
right angle is known as
hypotenuse.
AB is the hypotenuse

The other two sides are
known as legs.
AC and BC are the legs

Example( Words Problems)

A large airplane (plane A) flying at 26,000 feet sights a smaller plane
(plane B) traveling at an altitude of 24,000 feet. The angle of depression
is 40°. What is the line of sight distance ( x) between the two planes?
More Example

A ladder must reach the top of a building. The base of
the ladder will be 25′ from the base of the building.
The angle of elevation from the base of the ladder to
the top of the building is 64°. Find the height of
the building (h) and the length of the ladder ( m).
