Learn how to use a special right triangle to determine missing length when given hypotenuse

The video tutorial explains how to use special right triangle relationships to solve for missing variables in a triangle. It begins by identifying a 30-60-90 triangle through angle relationships and then describes the special relationships between the sides of such a triangle. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the side lengths using these relationships, providing a step-by-step guide to solving for missing sides.

What is the relationship between the angles in a linear pair when one angle is 150 degrees?
