Does 724 and 25 form a right triangle?
You need THREE sides for a triangle. Once you have them, you can check with the Pythagorean theorem whether it is a right triangle: the square of the longest side must be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
When you trisect a right angle you first construct what kind of triangle?
To trisect a right angle form an equilateral triangle with one vertex at the right angle and then bisect that angle of the equilateral triangle. (It is impossible to trisect a general angle using only compass and straight edge - the right angle is a specific exception.)
How can you determine whether or not the sides of a triangle form a right triangle using Pythagorean triples?
If the lengths of the sides of the triangle can be substituted for 'a', 'b', and 'c'in the equationa2 + b2 = c2and maintain the equality, then the lengths of the sides are a Pythagorean triple, and the triangle is a right one.
Can a right triangle be scalene?
I do not think so. Scalne has 3 sides of equal length. You need 90 degrees to form a right angle and trinagles are 180 degrees with three sides. so the answer is NO.Actually a scalene triangle has no congruent sides. An equilateral triangle is the triangle which has three sides of equal length. Therefore, it is logical that a right triangle can also be scalene.That is tru.:Da right triangle can be scalene because a scalene is a triangle that has no sides of equal length. :Dim so smart. >.
Do the legs form the right angle in a right triangle?
yes the hypotenuse is the longest side (hippopotamus is a big animal)
The sides of a right triangle that form the right angle?
Other than the diagonal side of the right triangle, the other two sides make a perpendicular right angle triangle. The right angle is 90 degrees
What is either of the two sides that form the right angle of a right triangle?
The right angle is formed by the intersection of the triangle's "legs".
How many congruent sides does a right triangle have?
If its in the form of an isosceles right angle triangle then it will have 2 equal sides.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite to what angle?
The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle. The legs are the other two sides which form the right angle.
Is it true or false that the legs are the sides that form the right angle in a right triangle?
It is true and the longest side of a right angle triangle is its hypotenuse.
What are the sides of a right triangle that form the right angle?
They're called the "legs" of the triangle. The side that doesn't touch the right angle is called the "hypotenuse".
What is the name of the two sides of a triangle that form a right angle?
legs
Does a triangle have parallel and perpendicular sides?
A triangle has no parallel sides but in the form of a right angle triangle it has perpendicular lines that meet at right angles which is 90 degrees.
What is the math definition of a leg?
The two sides in a right triangle that form the right angle.
What are the legs of a right triangle?
They are the two shorter sides which meet to form the right angle.
The sides of a right triangle are also called legs?
The sides that form the right angle are called legs. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
Do the numbers 6810 represent the sides of a right triangle?
If you mean units of 6 8 and 10 then yes they can form the sides of a right angle triangle.
