What do you call The side of a rigth triangle opposite the right angle?
It is the hypotenuse or longest side
What is do you call a triangle with a 90 degrees angle?
A triangle with a 90 degree angle and two acute angles is a right angle triangle.
Why do they call a triangle a right triangle?
right angle=90 degrees and a right triangle has one side of it that forms a 90 degree angle...as for the naming "right" don't know but it refers to 90 degree angle
What do you call longest side of right triangle?
The longest side a right angle triangle is its hypotenuse
What do you call the bottom of a triangle?
Its base or adjacent side if it's a right angle triangle.
What do you call The side of a rigth triangle opposite the right angle?
It is the hypotenuse or longest side
What do you call A triangle with a 90 degrees angle?
Any triangle with a 90 degree angle is called a right triangle.
In a right triangle the base is always longest of the 3 sides?
No. It depends what you call "base", really. The longest side is opposite the right angle.
What is do you call a triangle with a 90 degrees angle?
A triangle with a 90 degree angle and two acute angles is a right angle triangle.
What you call a triangle where one angle id 90 and none of the sides are the same?
It is simply a right angle triangle but if the sides were the same then it is an isoceles right angle triangle

What is the relationship among a right triangle?
There is the Pythagorean relationship between the side lengths. Given a right triangle with sides a, b, & c : Sides a & b are adjacent to the right angle, and side c is opposite the right angle, and this side is called the hypotenuse. Side c is always the longest side, and can be found by c2 = a2 + b2 The 2 angles (which are not the right angle) will add up to 90° Given one of those angles (call it A), then sin(A) = (opposite)/(hypotenuse) {which is the length of the side opposite of angle A, divided by the length of the hypotenuse} cos(A) = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse), and tan(A) = (opposite)/(adjacent).
What do you call a triangle containing one obtuse angle?
A triangle containing an obtuse angle is an obtuse triangle.
What do you call a triangle that has no equal sides?
a 'SCALENE' triangle. ; No equal sides, and no equal angles. An ISOSCELES triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. An EQUILATERAL tringle has three equal sides and three equal angles all at 60 degrees. A RIGHT ANGLED triangle has one right angle (90 degrees) in it.
What do you call a triangle with two congruent sides and an 145 degree angle?
An isosceles triangle
