    The document discusses properties of 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles. It states that in a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as either leg, and in a 30-60-90 triangle the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg and the longer leg is 3 times as long as the shorter leg. It provides examples of using these properties to determine side lengths when one side of each type of triangle is given.
