Lesson Outline
This lesson will concentrate on the 45-45-90 degree triangle and review problems for the 30-60-90 triangle.In a 45-45-90, the 2 legs opposite the 45deg. angles are equal. The hypotenuse is S the square root of 2. A 45-45-90 triangle was presented with one side equal to 3cm. The hypotenuse and leg were determined. A second triangle was given with a hypotenuse of 12cm, the legs had to be determined. A review problem with a 30-60-90 triangle was given with the leg opposite the 30 listed as 4. The hypotenuse and second leg was determined. A square with a diagonal of 15 cm was given and the length of the side of the square determined. The altitude of an equilateral triangle was determined given a side measurement. Finally using the area formula for a triangle, the area of an equilateral triangle with a side of 10 cm was given.

Lesson Comments
With the information given for each one, Sam was able to calculate all the required unknowns and solve the problems. One or two required a little more explanation, but she handled them well. Again, when she is in class, she can perform.
