FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

In a 45-45-90 triangle, what is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse?

Back

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are equal, and the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of one leg.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the length of the hypotenuse in a 45-45-90 triangle with legs of length 5?

Back

The length of the hypotenuse is 5√2, which is approximately 7.07.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

In a 30-60-90 triangle, what is the relationship between the sides?

Back

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the side opposite the 30-degree angle is half the length of the hypotenuse, and the length of the side opposite the 60-degree angle is √3 times the length of the shorter side.
