- The side opposite the 30º angle is half the hypotenuse
- The side opposite the 60º angle is half the hypotenuse times
- The ratio of the sides of a 30:60:90 right triangle is
3
Remember, the 30-60-90 triangle always has the same ratio for its sides:
2:3:1
90
60
30
Remember the relationship the sides have with the angles! The smallest side is across from the smallest angle!
7.13
Since 30 is the smallest angle, then the 1 goes across from it!
1Since 60 is the next biggest angle, then the goes across from it!
3 Since 90 is the largest angle, then the 2 goes across from it!

Now, since the ratio is always the same, then what did we multiply by?
Five! If we multiply one number in the ratio by 5, we multiply all of them by 5.
