How do you find the measures of a right triangle if the length and width are given?

The answer will depend on whether the length is the hypotenuse or one of the legs of the triangle.

Which triangle has an angle that measures 45 and 90 degrees?

Well, it doesn't exactly have "an angle that measures 45 and 90 degrees". It has one angle that measures 45 degrees, and another angle that measures 90 degrees. That's an isosceles right triangle. The third angle is also 45 degrees, and the length of each leg is 70.7% of the length of the hypotenuse. .


How do you know when a triangle is 90 degrees?

we know that a triangle is 90 degrees by measuring its length or it can be known as right triangle which measures 90 degrees.

What triangle has one angle that measures 40 degrees one angle that measures 90 degrees and another angle that measures 50 degrees?

A right triangle is a triangle in which one angle is equal to 90 degrees and the remaing two angles are acute(ie., less than 90 degree). so this triangle is a right angle triangle.
