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.
Read MoreA 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.
