Special Right Triangles and Types

Introduction:
In mathematics, the special right triangles are triangle in the topic trigonometry. In trigonometry, the special right triangles are having three angles. In trigonometry, special right triangles are classified into two types. The names of the special right triangles are given as isosceles right triangles and scalene right triangles. The detailed explanations to solve the special right triangles are given below.

Special Right Triangles – Types:

Isosceles right triangles:
The diagram for these special right triangles is given below,
Isosceles right triangle:
The angle measurements to solve these special right triangles are in 45-45-90. Where, 45-45-90 is another name for these special right triangles.
The ratio to solve the sides of these special right triangles is (1, 1, √ (2)).
Scalene right triangles:
The diagram for these special right triangles is given below,
Scalene right  triangle:
The angle measurements to solve these special right triangles are in 30-60-90. Where, 30-60-90 is another name for these special right triangles.
The ratio to solve the sides of these special right triangles is (1, √ (3), 2).
Formula to solve the sides of the special right triangles is,
c2 = a2 + b2
