They are the "legs" of the triangle.
You need THREE sides for a triangle. Once you have them, you can check with the Pythagorean theorem whether it is a right triangle: the square of the longest side must be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
To trisect a right angle form an equilateral triangle with one vertex at the right angle and then bisect that angle of the equilateral triangle. (It is impossible to trisect a general angle using only compass and straight edge - the right angle is a specific exception.)
If the lengths of the sides of the triangle can be substituted for 'a', 'b', and 'c'in the equationa2 + b2 = c2and maintain the equality, then the lengths of the sides are a Pythagorean triple, and the triangle is a right one.
I do not think so. Scalne has 3 sides of equal length. You need 90 degrees to form a right angle and trinagles are 180 degrees with three sides. so the answer is NO.Actually a scalene triangle has no congruent sides. An equilateral triangle is the triangle which has three sides of equal length. Therefore, it is logical that a right triangle can also be scalene.That is tru.:Da right triangle can be scalene because a scalene is a triangle that has no sides of equal length. :Dim so smart. >.
yes the hypotenuse is the longest side (hippopotamus is a big animal)
Other than the diagonal side of the right triangle, the other two sides make a perpendicular right angle triangle. The right angle is 90 degrees
The right angle is formed by the intersection of the triangle's "legs".
If its in the form of an isosceles right angle triangle then it will have 2 equal sides.
A right-angled triangle can be an Isosceles Triangle, but NOT an equilateral triangle. An Isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. They form the 90 degree (right angle). The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle, and is longer than the other two sides.
The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle. The legs are the other two sides which form the right angle.
They're called the "legs" of the triangle. The side that doesn't touch the right angle is called the "hypotenuse".
It is true and the longest side of a right angle triangle is its hypotenuse.
legs
A triangle has no parallel sides but in the form of a right angle triangle it has perpendicular lines that meet at right angles which is 90 degrees.
The two sides in a right triangle that form the right angle.
They are the two shorter sides which meet to form the right angle.
The sides that form the right angle are called legs. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
