Answer:

Explanation:

  1. In an isosceles right triangle, the angle measures are 45°-45°-90°, and the side lengths create a ratio where the measure of the hypotenuse is sqrt(2) times the measure of each leg as seen in the diagram below.
  2. And with a 30°-60°-90°, the measure of the hypotenuse is two times that of the leg opposite the 30° angle, and the measure of the other leg is sqrt(3) times that of the leg opposite the 30° also seen in the diagram below.

look at the examples below~
