What is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle?
X(square root of 2)
When X= length of AN equal side
In a 30-60-90 (degrees) triangle how long is the hypotenuse?
It is always double the shortest side.
In a 30-60-90 (degrees) triangle how long is the medium side?
X(square root of 3)
When X=length of the shortest side.
What is the area formula for a triangle?
Area= (base x height)/2
