An equilateral triangle...........................split down the center...............u can make two 30/60 triangles from it.............


Triangles with these angles are the only possible right triangles that are also isosceles triangles in Euclidean geometry. However, in spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry, there are infinitely many different shapes of right isosceles triangles.

30°–60°–90° triangle[edit]


The side lengths of a 30°–60°–90° triangle
This is a triangle whose three angles are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and respectively measure 30° (π/6), 60° (π/3), and 90° (π/2). The sides are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 2.
The proof of this fact is clear using trigonometry. The geometric proof is:
Draw an equilateral triangle ABC with side length 2 and with point D as the midpoint of segment BC. Draw an altitude line from A to D. Then ABD is a 30°–60°–90° triangle with hypotenuse of length 2, and base BD of length 1.
The fact that the remaining leg AD has length 3 follows immediately from the Pythagorean theorem.
The 30°–60°–90° triangle is the only right triangle whose angles are in an arithmetic progression. The proof of this fact is simple and follows on from the fact that if α, α + δ, α + 2δ are the angles in the progression then the sum of the angles 3α + 3δ = 180°. After dividing by 3, the
