Pendahuluan

Durasi: 10 - 15 minutes

This part is designed to engage students' interest and contextualise the lesson's topic by showing the relevance and practical use of metric relationships in right triangles. It connects theoretical content with real-world scenarios, making the learning experience more meaningful and motivating.

Tahukah kamu?

Did you know that the famous Pythagorean theorem, one of the most recognised metric relationships in a right triangle, was utilised by ancient civilisations such as the Egyptians and Babylonians? They employed these relationships to build pyramids and temples with incredible accuracy, long before our modern tools. Plus, in many cultures, the right triangle is associated with mystical and symbolic meanings.

Kontekstualisasi

Start the lesson by explaining that geometry is a foundational component of mathematics used in various fields and everyday life. Highlight areas like engineering, architecture, design, and even sports. For example, the construction of buildings and bridges depends on precise angle calculations, many of which stem from right triangle properties. This demonstrates to our students the real-world significance of what they're learning.

Topik Relevan

1. Definition and Properties of a Right Triangle: Explain that a right triangle has a right angle (90 degrees). Outline its primary properties, including the presence of two legs and one hypotenuse.

2. Pythagorean Theorem: Introduce the Pythagorean theorem, stating that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the legs. Formula: c² = a² + b².

3. Metric Relationships in Right Triangles: Provide details on the main metric relationships derived from the similarity of triangles formed by the height relative to the hypotenuse. Explain the formulas: Height relative to hypotenuse: h² = m * n; Longer leg: b² = a * m; Shorter leg: a² = b * n; Product of the legs: a * b = c * h.

4. Practical Examples: Solve real-world examples using the metric relationships. Show how to calculate the hypotenuse, the legs, and the height concerning the hypotenuse using these formulas. Give clear and detailed numerical examples for students to follow and grasp the solving process.

1. Question 1: In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is 13 cm and one leg is 5 cm. To find the other leg, use the Pythagorean theorem: c² = a² + b². So, 13² = 5² + b². Therefore, 169 = 25 + b². Subtracting 25 from both sides gives us 169 - 25 = b², resulting in 144 = b². Hence, the value of b is √144, which is 12 cm. 2. Question 2: In triangle ABC, the height in relation to the hypotenuse is 6 cm, and the hypotenuse measures 10 cm. We know that h² = m * n, where h is the height, and m and n are the segments of the hypotenuse. The equation becomes 6² = m * n, giving us 36 = m * n. We also know m + n = 10. We can solve this system of equations: 1) m * n = 36; 2) m + n = 10, yielding m = 4 and n = 6 or vice versa. 3. Question 3: If the legs of a right triangle are 8 cm and 15 cm, first find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem: c² = a² + b². By substituting the values, we get c² = 8² + 15², resulting in c² = 64 + 225, which gives c² = 289. Thus, the hypotenuse c is √289, which is 17 cm. Now, for the height, use the metric relationship h² = (a * b) / c. Thus, h² = (8 * 15) / 17, which results in h² = 120 / 17, leading to h = √(120 / 17), approximately 2.65 cm.
