Best Answer

they have at least one right angle.

A square is the union of two isosceles right triangles. The hypotenuse of each triangle is the diagonal of the square.

Will a pattern of right triangles and squares tessellate?

Yes. Consider the situation when: the right-angled triangles are also isosceles and the hypotenuse (longest side) of the triangles is equal to the side of the square. If you surround a square with four of right-angled triangles (the sides of the square being in contact with the hypotenuses of the triangles), you get a larger shape which is also a square. Taking this as a basic unit, you can make a tesselations. You can also make tessalations if you have two sets of squares, one with sides the same length of the hypotenuse of the triangles and one with sides the same length as the smaller sides of the triangles.


What are small squares on a selected rectangle?

The small squares are indicators that the angles are right angles, which are found in shapes such as rectangles, squares and right-angled triangles. A right angle is 90 degrees, 1 quarter of 360 degrees, a full turn, such as a circle. I hope this helps ^^


What shapes contain right angles?

Squares, rectangles, and some triangles, most commonly. Any polygon could have a right angle if it is irregular.
