No. In fact, if you make a triangle with sides of 17, 20, and 37, anybody who

sees it thinks that it's just a piece of straight line. The 17 and the 20 lie down

along the 37. The triangle is "degenerate" ... two of its angles are zero, and

the third angle is 180 degrees, and two of its sides lie on top of the third side.

Why is it possible to make an isosceles triangle from two identical right angled triangle?

An isosceles triangle is defined as a triangle that has two sides of the same length. With two identical right triangles, it is possible to arrange them into a bigger triangle that has two sides that are the same length.


What are the 6 possible groups of triangles?

Right triangle= has a right angle Acute triangle= has an acute angle Obtuse triangle= has an obtuse angle Equilateral triangle= all sides are the same length Scalene triangle= has no sides the same length Isosceles triangle= has only two sides the same length the triangles here make perfict dildose and condoms


What are two qualities that make a right isosceles triangle unique?

2 of the sides are the same length


How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle when given only the three side lengths?

Make it a right triangle where one side of the right triangle is half the length of the non-identical side of the isosceles, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the length of one of the identical sides of the isosceles triangle, then use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. Where "a" is the length of one of the identical sides, and "c" is the length of half the non-identical sides. Solve for "b" and that is your height.


Can you make an right equilateral?

No. Equilateral triangles have 60o angles. There is no way to build a right-angle triangle with sides of equal length.


Which triangle with two sides perpendicular and no two sides congruent?

That would be a right triangle. The perpendicular lines make up the right angle.


The sides of a right triangle that form the right angle?

Other than the diagonal side of the right triangle, the other two sides make a perpendicular right angle triangle. The right angle is 90 degrees


What are the lengths to make a right triangle?

Hypotenuse,Adjacent and opposite in a triangle and these sides can be worked out


How do you make 3 equal sides to a triangle?

For equal sides make an Equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangles have 3 internal angles of 60o. All 3 sides are equal length. Make one using those characteristics.


Do these three sides make a right triangle 5 5 3?

3, 5, 5 does not make a right angle triangle but they can make an isosceles triangle Correct. Try 3,4,5. That will be a right triangle. 3x3 plus 4x4 = 5x5


How do you find if the lengths of a shape make a triangle?

If (and only if) the length of each pair of sides is greater than the third side, then it is possible to make a triangle.


Do these three sides make a right triangle 4 4 8?
