Pythagorean Theorum. A2+B2=C2 That is the topic of study in trigonometry. Trig gets into the trig functions (sine, cosine, tangent...) and since the subject is quite involved, it can't be adequately explained in this type of setting.
However...
Imagine a right angle triangle, any right angle triangle (that means a triangle in which one side has 90 degrees but you don't necessarily know any other angle of the triangle.
If you want to know a specific angle of the triangle (other than the right angle), you COULD measure two lengths of the triangle and calculate the angle using trig functions.
The hypotenuse is the segment of the triangle that is opposite the right angle.
To calculate the angle in question, measure the OPPOSITE segment (that means the segment that is furthest from the angle), then measure the hypotenuse (explained above).
At that point you divide the length of the opposite segment by the length of the hypotenuse and look up the results in your handy sine table (or use your calculator if it has trig functions) and it will give you the angle.
Phew! That was a long explanation, and to go into trig functions any further would require a classroom, but basically that's how you would solve a right triangle question.
What else can I help you with?
How do you determine that the triangle is a right triangle?
If a triangle has a right angle, it is a right triangle.
What kind of triangle has a right angle?
A right triangle is a triangle with a right angle.a right triangle is a triangle with 1 side as a right angle
What is equivalence logic?
1. A triangle is a right triangle if and only if it has a right angle. 2. A triangle has a right angle if and only if it is a right triangle.
What is a triangle with one right angle?
a right triangle has one right angleA triangle with a right angle is a right triangle.
A triangle with one right angle?
A triangle with 1 right angle is a right angle triangle.
When one angle in a triangle is right angle it is called as?
A right angle triangle
What is a triangle called containing a right angle?
It is a right triangle or right-angled triangle. The right-angle is 90 degrees.
IS A Right triangle a Triangle?
yes it is it is a triangle with a right angle in it
1 If a triangle has a right angle it is a right triangle?
Yes it is a right angle triangle.
What does a right triangle and an isosceles triangle have in common?
A right triangle and an isosceles triangle have the fact that they are both triangles in common. A right triangle can also be an isosceles triangle.
Is a scalene triangle sometimes a right triangle?
no its not the scalene triangle will never be a right triangle
Is a right triangle sometimes a scalene triangle?
no its not the scalene triangle will never be a right triangle
