The Special Right Triangles Song
A song that will help you remember the Special Right Triangle Formulas!
**A parody of the song "Attention" by Charlie Puth**
Lyrics:
WOOOOOOOOOO OOH OOH
OOOOOOH OOH OOH
Special right, special right, special right, special right triangles on my mind
Got 45, 45, 45, 45, 90
30 – 6, 30 – 6, 30 – 6, 30 – 60 – 90
And these are the 2 types of special right triangles you’ll see
In a 45-45-90, the hypotenuse is equal to leg times radical 2
But in a 30-60-90 hypotenuse equals short leg times 2
One thing I forgot to mention, in a 30-60-90
the long leg is equal short leg times the radical 3
Class I need your attention
just listen to my lesson.
‘Cause these right triangles are special to me
Special right special right special right special right triangles on my mind
Got 45, 45, 45, 45, 90
30 – 6, 30 – 6, 30 – 6, 30-60 - 90
And these are the 2 types of special right triangles you’ll see
In a 45-45-90, the hypotenuse is equal to leg times radical 2!
But in a 30-60-90 hypotenuse equals short leg times 2
