As we are learning about Special Right Triangles and Right Triangle Trigonometry in this unit, I want you to start thinking about where right triangles can be seen in our everyday lives.

Please share your thoughts and ideas!

Think outside the "triangle"!

The ramp on the side of the school makes a right triangle.

Great observation, Kenya!

Does anyone else notice right triangles around school, or at home?

I noticed right triangles when I was walking up the stairs.

I like your example, Ms.S!!! My mom always cuts my sandwiches like that :)

I see right triangles in the square tiles on the floor in the hallways.
