Best Answer

Two of the three lines in a right triangle are perpendicular. Perpendicular lines meet at a 90 degree angle (also called a right angle). All right angle triangles have one right angle.

How many sets of perpendicular lines are in a right triangle?

There is only one set of perpendicular lines in a right triangle; the horizontal line and the vertical line that make it 90 degrees.


Example of perpendicular lines?

Why the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is always positive?

Because it is the sum of square of base and perpendicular


Name all types of triangles for which the point of concurrency is inside the triangle?

The answer depends on what point of concurrency you are referring to. There are four segments you could be talking about in triangles. They intersect in different places in different triangles. Medians--segments from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. In acute, right and obtuse triangles, the point of concurrency of the medians (centroid) is inside the triangle. Altitudes--perpendicular segments from a vertex to a line containing the opposite side. In an acute triangle, the point of concurrency of the altitudes (orthocenter) is inside the triangle, in a right triangle it is on the triangle and in an obtuse triangle it is outside the triangle. Perpendicular bisectors of sides--segments perpendicular to each side of the triangle that bisect each side. In an acute triangle, the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors (circumcenter) is inside the triangle, in a right triangle it is on the triangle and in an obtuse triangle it is outside the triangle. Angle bisectors--segments from a vertex to the opposite side that bisect the angles at the vertices. In acute, right and obtuse triangles, the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors (incenter) is inside the triangle.
