Best Answer

Contains one right angle, and the sum of the remaining angles is 90 degrees. Has 2 legs and 1 hypotenuse.

What kind of triangle that has 2 acute and 1 right angle?

That would be a right triangle. Any triangle that has a right angle in it is a right triangle.


Does a triangle have 2 obtuse angles and 1 right angle?

No that would be impossible but it can have 2 acute angles and 1 right angle which would be a right angle triangle


How meany angles does a right angle have?

A right angle has one angle, notice the words, "A right angle" (emphasis on the "A"), if it were a right triangle it would have 3 angles (TRIangle, tri means three).


Does and acute has a right angle and two acute angles?

no an acute triangle does not have a right angle. if it had a right angle, it would be called a right triangle. to be an acute triangle, the triangle needs two angles that are smaller than 90 degrees.


What are the Sides adjacent to the right angle of a triangle?

Adjacent means next to. So you're asking what sides of a triangle are next to the right angle of a triangle. That would be the 2 shorter sides of the triangle or 'legs' of the triangle. The hypotenuse (which is the longest side of the triangle) is directly across from the right angle.


Can an isosceles triangle also be a right triangle?

Yes as long as the right angle is not the repeated angle. You would have the angles 90°, 45° and 45°


What type of trangle has an angle that measures 20 and an angle that mearuses 90?

It is a right angle triangle and the 3rd angle would measure 70 degrees


How many axis of symmetry does a right angle triangle has?

It depends. If it is a right isosceles triangle, it has one axis of symmetry (the line which would bisect the right angle). A right scalene triangle has no axis of symmetry.


Does a equilateral triangle have right angle?

Only right triangles have right angles. An equilateral triangle though can't have a right angle because all the angles in any type of triangle must add up to 180 degrees. For each angle to be equilateral, they must be 60 degrees, showing that there is no angle at 90 degrees in an equilateral triangle, which would signify that it would be right.


Why can't an obtuse triangle not have a right angle?

Because an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees by definition and a right angle is 90 degrees by definition, so an obtuse triangle would need to have both a right angle and an obtuse angle, which would exceed the number of degrees than a triangle can have, which is 180 degrees.


How many right angles can be in a acute triangle?

None. If there was a right angle then it would not be called an acute triangle.


How would you find out the sin tan and cos of right angle triangle?

sin, tan and cos can be defined as functions of an angle. But they are not functions of a triangle - whether it is a right angled triangle or not.
