Slope is equal to RISE over RUN
Def. rise = the amount of distance you travel in the y-direction; the amount of distance traveled up or down
Def. run = the amount of distance you travel in the x-direction; the amount of distance traveled left or right
To determine the slope of a right traingle you need to put the length of the height of the length of the base.
This is the formula for slope, which is not FULLY answering the question.Yes, you find the slopes of the legs, but then you substitute those answers into the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (or the converse, c^2 = a^2 + b^2).If both sides of the equation are equal to each other, then the triangle is right.If 'c^2' is greater than 'a^2 + b^2', then it is an obtuse triangle.If 'a^2 + b^2' is greater than 'c^2', then it is an acute triangle.

How do you determine if three side lengths form a right triangle?
use the pathagory intherum
How do you know when its a right triangle?
It will have an L shape flipped around at the corner. or you can use a protractor or type in google images 'right angle triangle' they will have an L shape at the corner of the right angled triangle.
Do these three sides make a right triangle 6cm 9cm 12cm?
To determine if these three sides form a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, we have 6^2 + 9^2 = 36 + 81 = 117 and 12^2 = 144. Since 117 is not equal to 144, these three sides (6cm, 9cm, 12cm) do not form a right triangle.
If ABC is a right triangle if AC6 and CB9 what is AB?
Use Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle to find the length of the 3rd side.
How can you use ratios of the side lengths to find the angle measures of the acute angles in a right triangle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.
