Answer:
A special right triangle is a right triangle having angles of 30, 60, 90, or 45, 45, 90. Knowledge of the ratio of the length of sides of a special right triangle enables us to solve for any missing part of the triangle. The ratio of the side lengths of a special right triangle with angles of 30, 60, 90 is 1:sqrt(3):2, while the ratio of the side lengths of a special right triangle with angles of 45, 45, 90 is 1:1:sqrt(2).
