Theorems:
45-45-90 Triangle Theorem - In a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs are congruen and the length of the hypotenuse is the length of a leg times the square root of 2
30-60-90 Triangle Theorem - In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 2 times the length of the shorter leg, and the length of the longer leg is the length of the shorter leg times square root of 3
