Novel Situations for the Pythagorean Theorem to Illuminate

Having recently discovered the Pythagorean Theorem, students are now equipped to explore various right triangle scenarios in order to apply their new found ideas. Today's class also introduces special right triangles, in particular those with angle measures of 30, 60 and 90 degrees and those with measures of 45, 45, and 90 degrees.

Reminder: Binder Quiz #1 of the 2nd Term and Test #2 of the 2nd Term are likely for tomorrow.
