What is the use of scalene triangle?
Triangles are used in surveying a lot and unfortunately things are rarely the same distance away from a surveyor so scalene triangles are often used to find such distances.More InformationActually, scalene triangles don't have a specific "use." A scalene triangle is simply one in which the three sides are three different lengths. Like triangles in general, scalene triangles connect three points that can describe (or establish) a plane.In land surveying, right triangles are vastly more useful and are generally used to quantify a distance and/or a bearing.
Can Pythagorean Theorem be used on all types of triangles?
No it can only be used with right angle triangles.
How many triangles are there in which the three verticals are all chosen from among this array of dots?
There are two triangles in three verticals. This is used in math.
What sorts of shapes can the Pythagorean theorem be used in?
right triangles
Can trig ratios only be used on right triangles?
Yes
What tool is used to draw right angled triangles?
A protractor
Are all triangles equilateral?
No.Equilateral triangles must have equal angles (all 60 degrees) and equal length sides; there are also:Isosceles triangles which have two equal angles and two equal sides;Scalene triangles which have all three sides, and hence all three angles, of different lengths;Right angled triangles (which can have all sides of different lengths, or two sides of equal length) have (as the name suggests) one right angle. This means Pythagoras and the trigonometric ratios can be used on its side lengths.
What are the different application of trigonometry?
Trigonometry is used to find the properties of triangles and Pythagoras' theorem is used to find the lengths and angles of right angle triangles.
What are uses of similar triangles in daily life?
Similar triangles can be used in many situations in which angles of two differently-sized triangles are the same. Optics, scale modeling,trigonometry, surveying, astronomy, and many, many other applications of mathematics rely on the concept of similarity.
Can trigonometry be applied only in right angled triangles?
No. It can be used on any triangle.
Who used the Pythagoras theorem?
anyone doing work with right angled triangles
What mathematician is credited with a theorem specifically used in right angled triangles?
Pythagreos
