30 60 90 Right Triangles

Introduction to 30 60 90 right triangles:

                             The triangle consists of 3 sides and these three lines are enclosed to form the triangle shape. The triangle can be classified according to its side measurement and angles measurement. The 30 60 90 right triangles are one of the special kind of the triangle. This shows the degree measurements. Now we are going to see about the 30 60 90 right triangle.

Construction of 30 60 90 Right Triangle:

     Now we are going to see about the construction steps for 30 60 90 degree right triangle. It is a special kind of right triangle with the angles 30 60 and 90 degrees.

Steps of construction:

                                       30 60 90 right triangle construction

1. Draw a line segment of any length EF.

2. After we have to first construct the 30 degree angle.

3. With the help of compass take a small radius of length and Draw an arc at s in EF. Then draw an arc from S which cuts the arc and mark it as T

4. With T as center draw an arc that cuts the arc at R.

5. Thus, the angle 30 is drawn. Repeat the same procedure from the other end F. Thus, it will make 60 degree construction.

6. Now extend the line which meets the 30 degree line at G. Thus, 90 will be formed at the angle G.
