feet. This valueis approximatelyequalto feet.
LessonSummary
In this lesson,we exploredhow to workwith differentradicalsboth in theoryand in practicalsituations.
Specifically, we havelearned:
- How to identifyand use the ratiosinvolvedwith right isoscelestriangles.
- How to identifyand use the ratiosinvolvedwith triangles.
- How to identifyand use ratiosinvolvedwith equilateraltriangles.
- How to employright triangleratioswhensolvingreal-worldproblems.
Theseskillswill help you solvemanydifferenttypesof problems.Alwaysbe on the lookoutfor new and in-
terestingwaysto find relationshipsbetweensidesand anglesin triangles.
