Daily Learning Target (DLT)

Monday March 11, 2013

“I can understand, apply, and remember how to find relationships in similar right triangles.”

Reminder: Because of the basketball game on Wednesday

March 13, 2013, thus canceling school, ALL

Term 3 work will be due tomorrow Tuesday

March 12, 2013 at 6 pm. So grades can be

posted ASAP.

Corollary 2 to Theorem 8-3

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle separates the hypotenuse so that the length of each leg of the triangle is the geometric mean of the length of the adjacent hypotenuse segment and the length of the hypotenuse.
