SPECIAL RIGHT TRIANGLES

Front

What is a 30-60-90 triangle?

Back

A special right triangle where the angles are 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. The sides are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2, where 1 is the length of the shorter leg, √3 is the length of the longer leg, and 2 is the length of the hypotenuse.

What is a 45-45-90 triangle?

Back

A special right triangle where the angles are both 45 degrees and the right angle is 90 degrees. The sides are in the ratio 1 : 1 : √2, where the legs are equal and the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg.
