FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle in relation to the short leg?

Back

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the lengths of the sides are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2. The short leg is opposite the 30-degree angle, the long leg is opposite the 60-degree angle, and the hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.
