The hypotenuse of a 30 60 90 right triangle is always twice the value of the short side!

So if your short side is 1, then your hypotenuse is 2.

The sides of a 30 60 90 right triangle are always in the ratio:

There is a WHOLE lot to this study of special triangles in geometry.

The 30 60 90 right triangle and the isosceles right triangle are the two most often studied.

Read, reread, and study, and don't be afraid to ask more questions!

I hope this helps! :)
