I doubt it. If I put the base of a right angle triangle on one of the parallels and the opposite apex on the other parallel line, there is a side at right angles to both lines, but the hypotenuse might be sloping down at any angle you like.
If you are given the distance between the parallels, then you must be given the length of the base or the smaller base angle to fix a particular right-angled triangle.

Are acute-angled triangles similar?
Similar in the number of sides but not congruent
Are isosceles angled triangles similar?
Not as a rule, though they can be.
Are all right-angled triangles congruent?
No.Examples:The right angled triangles {3, 4, 5} & {6, 8, 10} are similar;The right angled triangles {3, 4, 5} & {5, 12, 13} are just two right angled triangles.
What are the 7 types of triangles?
The seven types of triangles are Isosceles, equilateral, scalene, equiangular, acute-angled, obtuse-angled, and right-angled
Which triangles have a right angle?
Right angled triangles!
Can you draw two acute triangles that are not similar?
Yes, you are allowed to draw two acute angled triangles. Acute means less than 45 degrees. - lovelytoes
Why don't triangles have right angles?
Right angled triangles do!
What sort of triangles does pythagoras's rule work in?
Right angled triangles.
Which congruence theorem guarantees that right angled triangles are congruent?
The checking for right-angled triangles is RHS:Right angle - they both haver a right angleHypotenuse - the hypotenuse of the triangles are congruentSide - a corresponding side of the triangles are congruent.
How many right-angled triangles are there with sides that are all integers less than 50 units?
There are 18, but only 7 primitive ones. The rest are similar to the primitive triangles : for example (15, 50, 25) is similar to (3, 4, 5).
How many obtuse angled triangles are in heptagon?
