How can you find the angles of a right triangle with sides 20 21 and 29?

Because it's a right angle triangle use any of the trigonometrical ratios to find the two interior acute angles:
tangent = opp/adj, sine = opp/hyp and cosine = adj/hyp
The angles are to the nearest degree 46 and 44

How do you find the hypotenuse of a triangle that has no right angles?
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
How do you find the short leg of a right triangle?
The answer depends on what information you do have about the triangle: the lengths of the other two sides, or the hypotenuse (longest side) and one of the acute angles, or the other leg and one of the acute angles, etc.
Is it possible to draw a right scalene triangle?
Yes it is. A normal, 3:4:5 triangle has a right angle, three different angles, and three different sides. There should be more for you to find.
How do you find the hypotenuse to a triangle?
First of all, you have to make sure that it's a RIGHT triangle. That means that one of the angles in the triangle is 90 degrees. If not, then it's not a right triangle, and it doesn't have a hypotenuse. If it IS a right triangle, then the longest side is the hypotenuse.
How do you find the hypoteneuse of an isosceles right triangle?
It is very unlikely for a right angle triangle to be isosceles, however it is possible if the angles are 90, 45, and 45 degrees. It does not matter if the triangle is isosceles, this method works for all right triangles. The following formula is your answer, when h=hypotenuse, and a and b are other two sides. a2 + b2 = h2
How do you find angles on a right triangle?
You do not need to, if you have a right triangle that angle is 90* so the other 2 angles are 45* apiece. That is actually only partially accurate. There can be a right angled triangle with sides of 2-3-5. 5 being the hypotenuse in which the triangle's angles will not be 90-45-45 but 90-33.69-56.31. To find the angles of a right triangle, you will need to know the length of the sides. With the length of all three sides, you will need to utilize sine, cosine, and tangent to find the angles.
How do you find the angles of a triangle that is not a right triangle if you only have the side measurements?
If it's not a right angled triangle and you don't have any of the angles but have the values of all three sides, then you need to use something called the Cosine Rule.
How do you find the two shorter sides of a triangle when all you know if the hypotenuse and nothing else?
If it has an hypotenuse then it is a right angle triangle and if you know its angles then use trigonometry to find its other two sides.
How do you find the measures of the angles in a right isosceles triangle?
If a triangle is an isosceles triangle as well as being a right-angled triangle, the size of the two angles (that are not right angles) are 45 degrees.
How do you find the hypotenuse of a triangle that has no right angles?
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when you don't know the other two sides?
If you know the 2 other angles, apart from the right angle you can calulate the other 2 sides.
Can you find all sides of a right triangle given only two angles?
No. If you only know angles, you can't find any sides.Millions of triangles can all have the same angles. In fact, an infinite number of them can.
How do you find a right triangle when you have three numbers?
Three numbers may or may not define a right triangle. Also, the answer will depend on whether the three numbers are the lengths of sides or the measures of angles.
What does it mean to ''solve a triangle''?
It means to find all of its sides and angles.
How can you use inverse trigonometric functions?
You can use them to find the sides and angles of a right triangle... just like regular trigonometric functions
Are trigonometric functions used to find the acute angles of a right triangle?
they can be, depending on the information that you are given. If you know lengths of sides, then YES.
Is it possible to draw a right scalene triangle?
Yes it is. A normal, 3:4:5 triangle has a right angle, three different angles, and three different sides. There should be more for you to find.
