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).
One leg of a right triangle is twice the length of the other leg What is the cosine of the angle between the longer leg and the hypotenuse?
Shorter leg = 1Longer leg = 2Hypotenuse = sqrt(5)Cosine of angle between the longer leg and the hypotenuse = 2 / sqrt(5) = 0.89443 (rounded)The angle is 26.565 degrees (rounded)
What is the relationship between the hypotenuse and a right angle?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite to the right angle in the triangle.
What is the relationship between the short leg and the hypotenuse 30-60-90 triangle?
The short leg is equal to one-half of the hypotenuse. ( sin 30 = opposite/hypotenuse = short leg/hypotenuse = 1/2)
What descibes the relationship between the length of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
They are described by the famous Pythagoras theorem, if "a" and "b" are the legs and "h" the hypotenuse, then h x h = (a x a) + (b x b) Also a = h x sinB (where B is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side b and b = h x sinA (where A is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side a
What is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in a 45-45-90 degree triangle?

What ratio correctly describes the cosine function?
The cosine of theta is adjacent over hypotenuse, given a right triangle, theta not being the 90 degree angle, adjacent not being the hypotenuse, and theta being the angle between adjacent and hypotenuse. In a unit triangle, i.e. in a unit circle circumscribed with radius one, and theta and the center of the circle at the origin, cosine of theta is X.
