What is left angle triangle?
A left angle triangle, also known as a right triangle, is a triangle in which one of the angles measures exactly 90 degrees. This type of triangle is characterized by one right angle and two acute angles. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse, while the other two sides are known as the legs. Left angle triangles play a significant role in trigonometry and are fundamental in various mathematical and geometric applications.
How do you know if a triangle is a right triangle using the pythagorean therom?
We know that a right triangle is a triangle having a right angle, where the side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse, and the perpendicular sides are the legs of the right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem gives the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangles. In the case where you know only the measure lengths of the sides of a triangle, you need to test these measures. If one of the sides of the triangle has a square measure equal to the sum of the square measures of two other sides, then this side is called the hypotenuse and opposite to this side is a 90 degree angle, which is a right angle. So, you can say that this triangle is a right triangle. Pythagorean triple are very helpful to determine a right triangle, such as: (3, 4, 5), (5,12,13), (8, 15, 17), (7, 24, 25), and (20, 21, 29).
What is the difference between the pythagorean theorem and the converse of the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a2 + b2 = c2. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that, if in a triangle with sides a, b, c, a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is right and the angle opposite side c is a right angle.
