Yes and the hypotenuse is the longest side.
Because the phrase 'right angle' indicates 90 degrees whereas there is no such angle as a 'left angle'
'A' squared, plus 'B' squared, must equal 'C' squared, but only if the 'C' side is the hypotenuse (long side). A right (or left) triangle MUST have ONE 90-degree angle.
Adjacent Side / Hypotenuse = Natural Cosine of the Angle. For example: Adjacent Side=20cm / Hypotenuse=40cm = 0.5 Look up 0.5 in a Natural Cosine table and look back to the degrees on the left margin, you'll find 60... 60 degrees is the angle between the hypotenuse and the adjacent side.
Looks better. No reason why you can't draw your triangle with the right angle bottom left or bottom right.
A left angle triangle is at the left side of the triangle. I HATE WIKI ANSWERS.
How about a right angle triangle as an example.
Because the Bottom left corner makes a 90 degree angle like this |_ and a 90 degree angle is called a Right angle thus the name Right angled Triangle
The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180º. If B is a right angle it has 90º, so there are only 90º left for the other two angles, meaning that they cannot be right!
A right triangle normally refers to a triangle with one right angle. a left triangle, on the other hand, is not a geometrically or mathematically recognised term. The difference is that a right triangle is a unique and well-known figure in Euclidean geometry, and has a concise and accepted definition, whereas a left triangle isn't and hasn't.
It usually is a right angle that represents an isosceles triangle but there are some cases that the right and left side are equal and the base is the one with an unequal length.
Can a right angle be on the left? Yes a right angle can be on the left
No. For it to be a right angle triangle, 42 + 72 = 82. However, the left side is odd and the right side is even and so cannot be equal; thus the triangle cannot be right angled.
