This question only requires some algebra and very basic trigonometry skills. We will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states:

(a^2) + (b^2) = (c^2) ---------> read this as "a squared plus b squared equals c squared"

I'm going to assume that c is your hypotenuse, or the longest side of your triangle. Therefore, the equation will look like this:

(180^2) + (60^2) = (c^2)

Raising a number to the second power is exactly like multiplying a number by itself. Therefore, the equation could also look like:

(180 x 180) + (60 x 60) = (c x c)

The simplified expression looks like this:

32400 + 3600 = (c^2) -------------> 32400 + 3600 = 36000

Together, it should look like this:

(c^2) = 36000

Take the square root of both sides, and you have your answer:

c = 189.73 inches

If a triangle has a right angle it is a right triangle. If and only if a triangle had a right angle it is a right triangle?

A right angle triangle has a right angle and two acute angles that all add up to 180 degrees.


Can a triangle have a right angle and an acute angle?

No A right angle has 90 degree A triangle has 180 degreeYes, a right triangle has one right angle and two acute angles. The sum of the acute angles is 90°.


If angle A equals 32 and angle B equals 58 What type of triangle is it?

all the angles in a triangle have to add up to 180. to find the missing angle : 180 - 32 - 58 = 90 90 is a right angle and since there is a right angle in the triangle, it is a right angled triange


How many right angle have a triangle got?

Sum of all angles at vertices in a triangle is 180. Right angle means 90 Degree. A triangle can have only one Right angle.


How many degrees does a right angle triangle add up to?

All triangles have a total of 180 degrees.The internal angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees.Therefore, a RIGHT triangle's angle's added together equal 180 degrees.The Right Angle = 90 degrees + the other 2 angles total 90 degrees, making the total number of degrees in a Right Angle Triangle = 180 degrees.


A right triangle is a triangle that has how degrees?

It has 180 degrees, but one angle of the triangle has to be 90 degrees


What is special about a right-angled triangle?

a right angled triangle is special because it is the only triangle that has a right angle with a dregree of 180.


What is for Triangle equations right angle?

A right angle triangle has a 90 degree angle and two acute angles which altogether add up to 180 degrees.


Can a right triangle have more than one right angle?

No. It's impossible, obviously a triangle could NOT have more then one right angle. Gosh people are ignorant these days. Remember, the angles of a triangle all have to add up to 180 degrees, and must have THREE angles to be a triangle, and 90, the degrees of a right angle, and 90, the degrees of ANOTHER right angle, equals... 180 degrees. And you simply cannot have a zero degrees angle.


Does a right triangle have an obtuse angle?

No, a right triangle must have a right angle (by definition). Because there is 180 degrees in a triangle and a right angle is 90 degrees, that leaves the remaining two angles having to equal 90 degrees. Therefore, a triangle cannot have an obtuse angle.


How you can be sure that a triangle is 90 degrees?

All triangles have a total of 180 degrees.The internal angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees.Therefore, a RIGHT triangle's angle's added together equal 180 degrees.The Right Angle = 90 degrees + the other 2 angles total 90 degrees, making the total number of degrees in a Right Angle Triangle = 180 degrees.


Why can a right triangle have only on right angle?

A triangle is composed of 180 degrees. Two right angles = 180 degrees, the total number for all angles in a triangle. Thus a triangle can not have more than one right angle. l____________l <------ This is what two right angles look like, as you can see it cannot ever be a triangle.
