In this 45-45-90 triangle, I have been given the length of a leg.  How do I find the length of the hypotenuse?

• It is the same length as the given leg.

• Multiply that leg's length by √2.

• Multiply that leg's length by 2.

• Divide that leg's length by √2.

I have been given the short leg in this 30-60-90 triangle.  How do I find the long leg?

• Multiply 4 by 2

• Multiply 4 by √3

• Multiply 4 by √2

• Divide 4 by 2

I have been given the short leg in this 30-60-90 triangle.  How do I find the length of the hypotenuse?

• Multiply 4 by 2

• Multiply 4 by √3

• Multiply 4 by √2

• Divide 4 by √3

What is the length of u and v in this 30-60-90 triangle?

• u = 8 v = 4√3

• u = 4√2 v = 8

• u = 16 v = 8

• u = 4√3 v = 8

What are x and y in this 30-60-90 triangle?

• x = 6 y = 3√3

• x = 3√2 y = 3

• x = 3√3 y = 6

• x = 3√3 y = 3√2

In this 45-45-90 triangle, I have been given a leg, so to find the other leg I...

• Multiply that leg by 2

• Use the same length for the second leg

• Multiply that leg by √2

• Divide that leg by √2
