Looking at your three 30-60 right triangles and your group mates' 30-60 triangles
a) What do you notice (similarities/differences)?
b) What do you wonder? (any connections to what we have doing in class the past few weeks)

BIG PAWS ---> Let's summarize our 30 - 60 Right Triangle Rules / Ratios

30 - 60 Right Triangle Practice Problems

Given Short Leg

30 -60 Right Triangle Practice Problems

Given Length of Long Leg

BIG PAWS --> RATIONALIZE THE DENOMINATOR

Before we work on the next set of problems --> We need to talk about radical expressions that contain a radical in the denominator

For a radical expression to be considered simplified, there must be NO radical in the denominator

If there is a radical in the denominator --> you must RATIONALIZE the denominator

1) Multiply BOTH the numberator and denominator by the radical in the denominator

2) Simplify (in the denominator there should be a rational number -->

See next side for some examples

Lets do some RATIONALIZING the DENOMINATOR Problems Together
