30-60-90 and 45-45-90 Triangles

Front

What are the side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle?

Back

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the side lengths are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2. The shorter leg (opposite the 30° angle) is 'x', the longer leg (opposite the 60° angle) is 'x√3', and the hypotenuse (opposite the 90° angle) is '2x'.
