There are many theories and formulas that can be applied to find the length of each of the sides of a triangle. The most common is the Pythagorean Theorem: a2+b2= c2 . The letters: "a , c" are the two legs. The hypotenuse is the letter "c". For a 30-60-90 triangle you can use a special formula, as well as a 45-45-90 triangle.

Does a right angle triangle have 2 equal sides?
Not necessarily. A triangle with two equal sides is called an isoceles triangle. A right triangle has one angle that measures 90 degrees.
How do you find the range of a triangle?
to find the range of values of triangle. Add the value of the sides of the given sides...is it?
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 third side of a triangle with 15 and 12.5?
Assuming that 15 and 12.5 units are measures of the lengths of two sides of the triangle, the third is any value in (2.5, 27.5) units
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle with perpendicular height?
The height of a triangle alone is not enough information to find the perimeter. You need some angle measures or side lengths.
