How to solve 45-45-90 triangles

A 45-45-90 triangle is a special kind of right triangle, because it’s isosceles with two congruent sides and two congruent angles. Since it’s a right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse has to be greater than the length of each leg, so the congruent sides are the legs of the triangle.

How to solve 30-60-90 triangles

A 30-60-90 is a scalene triangle and each side has a different measure. Since it’s a right triangle, the sides touching the right angle are called the legs of the triangle, it has a long leg and a short leg, and the hypotenuse is the side across from the right angle. In this lesson we’ll look at how to solve for the side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle.
