What is the formula for the third side of a triangle?
a2+b2=c2, but that only works for right triangles, where c is opposite the right angle. The law of cosines, see Related Link below, will help for non right triangles, but you need to know one of the angles.
What kind of triangles can the Pythagorean theorem be applied to?
Any right-angled triangle
Law of cosines with a right angle?
The law of cosines with a right angle is just the pythagorean theorem. The cosine of 90 degrees is 0. That is why the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of both of the legs squared
What traingle don't have a right angle?
Triangles without right angles are:- Scalene triangles Obtuse triangles Isosceles triangles Equilateral triangles
Are all right triangles isosceles triangles?
no
Can The law of cosines can only be applied to right triangles?
Cosine Rule: a2 = b2+c2-2bc*cos A is applicable to all triangles
Is it true that the law of cosines reduces the Pythagorean theorem with right triangles?
Yes

How is trigonometry applied?
Trigonometry is applied in construction and building, as trigonometry measures right angled triangles.
Can trig functions work on non-right triangles?
Yes. Look up the law of sines and the law of cosines as examples. there are also formulas that can find out the area of a non-right triangle.
What kind of triangles can the Pythagorean theorem be applied to?
Any right-angled triangle
Can trigonometry be applied only in right angled triangles?
No. It can be used on any triangle.
Can trigonometric functions sine cosine and tangent be used in triangles other than right triangles?
Yes, trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent can be applied to triangles other than right triangles through the use of the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. These laws relate the ratios of the sides of any triangle to the sines and cosines of their angles, allowing for the calculation of unknown sides and angles in non-right triangles. Thus, trigonometric functions are versatile tools applicable to various types of triangles.
Is it true that Pythagorean theorem can only be used for right-angled triangles?
Yes. The Pythagorean Theorem is true for only right triangles. However, a variety of other similar equations can be used for other triangle types. Law of Sines: a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC Law of Cosines: c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab*cosC
Law of cosines with a right angle?
The law of cosines with a right angle is just the pythagorean theorem. The cosine of 90 degrees is 0. That is why the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of both of the legs squared
Which triangles have a right angle?
Right angled triangles!
Do all triangles have right angles?
No. Only right triangles do, and not all triangles can be right triangles. Equilateral triangles, for example, are always 60°-60°-60°. Isosceles and scalene triangles can be right triangles; all isosceles triangles have the additional useful property of being able to be split into two right triangles.
