Does a right triangle have 2 congruent sides?
In general, usually not. It is possible for a right triangle to have 2 congruent sides; this makes it an isoceles right triangle. This shape is often seen in architecture.
Why is SSA not a congruent shortcut?
SSA is ambiguous. If A is not a right angle, then there are two possible configurations for the triangle. So they need not be congruent.
What are the four congruence theorems for a right triangle?
The four congruence theorem for right triangles are:- LL Congruence Theorem --> If the two legs of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- LA Congruence Theorem --> If a leg and an acute angle of a right triangles is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HA Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HL Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What is a Scalene right triangle?
A scalene right triangle is a triangle that has no congruent sides and and one right angle.
What is a triangle with a right angle and two congruent sides?
A right isosceles triangle.
