Pythagorean Theorem
In a right triangle, the square of the length
of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of
the squares of the lengths of the legs.

30°- 60° - 90° Right Triangle
In a 30°- 60° - 90° triangle, the hypotenuse is twice
as long as the shorter leg (the leg opposite the
30° angle, and the longer leg (opposite the 60°
angle) is √3 tunes as long as the shorter leg. The
ratios of the side lengths can be written l - l√3 –
2l.
