Special Right Triangles:Summary

1. For 30-60-90 degree triangles.....
   1. The short leg is ALWAYS the side across from the 30-degree angle
   2. Hypotenuse= 2 * short leg
   3. Long Leg = Sqrt(3) * short leg
2. For 45-45-90 degree triangles.....
   1. The triangle is isosceles.
   2. The two legs are congruent.
   3. Leg=Leg and Hypotenuse= sqrt(2) * leg
