Right Triangles and Trigonometry
Triangle HEG is similar to triangle [ Ⓐ EFH Ⓑ FEH Ⓒ HEF ] and triangle [ Ⓐ FHG Ⓑ GHF Ⓒ HGF ].
2. Which of the following could be the measures of the sides of a right triangle?
Ⓐ √ 3 , √ 4 , √5
Ⓑ √ 5 , √12 , √13
Ⓒ 8, 15, 17
Ⓓ 9, 16, 25
3. STORMS During a storm, a tree breaks 6 feet above the ground and falls to form a right triangle.
If the top of the tree rests 20 feet from the base of the tree, approximately how tall was the tree before the
storm?
Ⓐ 19 feet
Ⓑ 21 feet
Ⓒ 25 feet
Ⓓ 27 feet
5. What is the length of the line segment with endpoints P(2, 1, –4) and Q(–1, 5, 3)?
Ⓐ √ 38
Ⓑ √ 42
Ⓒ √ 56
Ⓓ √ 74
6. Point C is the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints A(4, 10, –3) and B(14, 8, 1). What are the coordinates
of point C?
C([ Ⓐ 7 Ⓑ 9 Ⓒ 18 ], [ Ⓐ 5 Ⓑ 9 Ⓒ 18 ], [ Ⓐ –4 Ⓑ –2 Ⓒ –1 ])8
Ⓐ x=2 √ 15 , y =3 √ 5
Ⓑ x=3 √ 5 , y=2 √ 15
Ⓒ x=2 √ 5 , y =√ 5
Ⓓ x=√ 5 , y=2 √ 5

12. TREES General Sherman, a tree located in Sequoia National Park, stands 275 feet tall. To see the top of the
tree, Carlos looks up at a 15° angle of elevation. If Carlos is 6 feet tall, how far is he from the base of the tree
to the nearest foot?
13. AIR TRAVEL An airplane is flying at an altitude of approximately 2 miles above ground level. The pilot sights a
landmark at an angle of depression of 11°. One minute later, the pilot sights the same landmark at an angle of
depression of 18°. To the nearest tenth of a mile, how far did the plane fly in that minute?
_______ miles16
EF = _______
FG = _______
a = _______19
18. In △ABC, b = 5, c = 7, and m∠A = 20°. What is the value of a to the nearest tenth?
