Certainly. In fact, if the legs of the right triangle are not equal, then that descriptionmust be true for one of its acute angles.
Let the sides be a & b. a2 + b2 = The square of the hypotenuse a/b = tangent of the angle opposite a b/a = tangent of the angle opposite b ab/2 = the area of a right angled triangle.
In a right triangle, the two shorter sides are called legs.
They are just "sides." They usually do not have given names, unless you have a right triangle, in which the two shorter sides are called legs and the longest side (side opposite the right angle) is called the hypotenuse.
If one side of a triangle is longer than the second side, then the measure of the angle opposite the longer side is greater than the measure of the angle opposite the shorter side. I hope it will help in your study.. AJ
Because you need information about all three parts of the triangle, either the side or the angle opposite it, for each of the sides of a triangle. In AA you are missing the third angle, you could have a triangle where both angles were the same but the height could be different giving you a taller or shorter triangle. In SSA, the angle would be the one opposite the first side, so you have no information about the third side
The legs.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is double the length of the shorter leg.
The short sides of a right triangle are the legs.
isosceles triangle
An isosceles triangle. It is an isosceles triangle even if the third side is shorter.
An example is Pythagoras's Theorem: that the sum of the squares of the two shorter side lengths of a triangle with a right-angle is equal to the square of the length of the side opposite the right angle.
