|
Pythagorean Theorem
|
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.
|
|
|
Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem
|
If the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.

45º-45º-90º Theorem
|
In a 45º-45º-90º triangle, the hypotenuse is the square root of 2 times as long as the leg
|
|
|
30º-60º-90º Theorem
|
In a 30º-60º-90º triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the longer leg is the square root of 3 times as long as the shorter leg.
