The image depicts a right triangle labeled ABC. 

- Vertex A is positioned at the top left.
- Vertex B is at the bottom right.
- Vertex C is at the bottom left, marked with a right angle indicator.

The angle at vertex A is 60°.

This triangle is oriented so that:

- Line segment AC is vertical.
- Line segment BC is horizontal.
- Line segment AB is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

This diagram is commonly used to introduce concepts related to right triangles, such as trigonometric ratios and the properties of a 30-60-90 triangle. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides have a specific ratio: the side opposite the 30° angle is half the hypotenuse, and the side opposite the 60° angle is the square root of three times the side opposite the 30° angle.
