A Right- Angled triangle.

Also

Equilatertal ; the three sides are of equal length, and the three angles are all 60 degrees.

Isosceles ; two sides of equal lnegth, and two angles of equal size.

Scalene ; all three sides are unequal in length, and all three angles are different.

In all cases the sum on the three interior angles equals 180 degrees.

How many diagonals does a right angle triangle have?

The only diagonal line in a right-angle triangle is the hypotenuse. So the answer is 1.


How many acute angles does a right triangle have?

A right angle triangle has 2 acute angles that add up to 90 degrees, along with 1 right angle of 90 degrees.


What is the minimum number of right angles there can be?

That depends on what type of shape it is as for example a triangle can only have 1 right angle of 90 degrees.

What is cos X?

At the most basic level, cos(x) represents the cosine of an angle x, a trigonometric function. In a right angled triangle, where one of the angles is x, cos(x) is the ratio of the lengths of the short side next to the angle x (the adjacent side) and the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle). Soon afterwards, you learn that this measure is a characteristic of the angle x, not of the triangle, so you do not actually need a triangle! Any angle x has a cos(x) associated with it, whether it is in a triangle, in another shape or simply a free-standing angle. Later still, you learn that sin(x) is an infinite series of the form: cos(x) = 1 - x2/2! + x4/4! - x6/6! + ... where x is the angle measured in radians, and n! [n factorial] is n*(n-1)*(n-2)*...*3*2*1 Alternate answer: X is a variable representing the measure of an angle. Cosine, abbreviated cos, is a ratio of two sides of a right triangle containing the angle X. but not any 2 sides, 2 specific sides of the triangle. (ratio means a fraction, which is usually divided to give a decimal answer) One of those sides is called the adjacent and the other is called the hypotenuse. The third side is called the opposite. Cos X = Adjacent side / hypotenuse
