All similar triangles will have the same trig ratios.

Explanation:

In similar triangles, the triangles can be bigger or smaller, but the sides are always in the same ratio.

So a right angled triangle with a #30°# angle might have its opposite side and hypotenuse with lengths:

#12 cm and 24cm#

#17cm and 34 cm#

#21.3cm and 42.6 cm#

#73 cm and 146 cm#

For all of the triangles with different sizes, the ratio of the #30°# angle will be #0.5#
