Step-by-step explanation:
With 30°-60°-90° and 45°-45°-90° triangles, the sides have common ratios. The ratios for 30°-60°-90° triangle sides are:
- x for the smaller side
- x√(3) for the larger side
- 2x for the hypotenuse
So 4. for example has a shorter side length of 5 units, which means the longer side is 5√(3) units long, and the hypotenuse is 10 units long.
*For 45°-45°-90° triangles, the ratios are:
- x for both sides; which have equal lengths
- x√(2) for the hypotenuse
