You can't use SSA or ASS as a postulate because it doesn't determine that the triangles are congruent; right triangles are most likely determined by HL: hypotenuse leg- genius!

When does the pythagoream therom not work?
When a triangle is not a right triangle
The dose the Pythagorean Theorem only work on right triangles?
I quote " The square on the hypotenuse of a rightangled triangle..."
How do l work out the area of a triangle?
A right triangle is easy, simply multiply the two sides and divide by two. A non-right triangle is a bit more of a challenge. You have to make it a right triangle by adding a right triangle to it. Calculate and then subtract the area of what you had to add.
Does sohcahtoa work on a 90 degree angle I have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1m no other sides or angles were provided?
No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.
How do you work out the perimeter of a right angled triangle?
Add up the sides.

Pythagoras theorem will always work in what type of triangle?
Pythagoras theorem will always work with a right-angled triangle.

Does the Pythagorean theorem work on isosceles triangles?
it depens if the isosceles triangle is a right triangle or not
How do you work out what the smallest angle is in a right angled triangle?
It depends on what else you know about the triangle.

How do i work out the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle when i am only given the opposite which is 2cm?
You don't. In a right triangle, you can find out one of the sides if you are given the OTHER TWO sides; if you only know one side, you don't have enough information.
How do you work out the perimeter of a right angled triangle?
Add up the sides.
Does the cosine rario work with non- right triangles?
The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse only when the angle is in a right triangle. (Otherwise, how would you know which side is the "hypotenuse" ?)
