- The sides opposite the 45º angles are 1
- The side opposite the 90º angle is
- The ratio of the sides of a 45:45:90 right triangle is

Remember, the 45-45-90 triangle always has the same ratio for its sides:
2:1:1
90

Remember the relationship the sides have with the angles! The smallest side is across from the smallest angle!
4.12
Since 45 is the smallest angle, then the 1 goes across from it!

Since 90 is the largest angle, then the radical 2 goes across from it!
