What is a special right triangle?

Back

A special right triangle is a triangle with specific angle measures and side length ratios that make calculations easier. The two main types are the 30-60-90 triangle and the 45-45-90 triangle.

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

Back

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the side lengths are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2, where 1 is the length of the side opposite the 30° angle, √3 is the length of the side opposite the 60° angle, and 2 is the hypotenuse.

If the side length of a 30-60-90 triangle is 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

The hypotenuse is 8, as it is twice the length of the shorter leg (4).

What is the relationship between the angles in a 45-45-90 triangle?

Back

In a 45-45-90 triangle, both angles are 45°, making it an isosceles triangle with the legs being equal in length.

What are the side length ratios of a 45-45-90 triangle?

Back

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the side lengths are in the ratio 1 : 1 : √2, where the legs are equal and the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg.
