Does a right-angled triangle have any equal sides?

A right-angled triangle can have equal sides, but does not have to. A right-angled triangle with two equal sides CANNOT be an equilateral triangle. A right-angled triangle cannot be an equilateral triangle.Divide a square along the diagonal, and you are left with two right-angled triangles with two sides of equal length.


How many parallel lines does a riht angled triangle have?

There are no parallel sides in a right angle triangle


Classify the triangle by its angles?

An acute angled triangle has all its angles less than 90°.A right angled triangle has one of its angles equal to 90°.An obtuse angled triangle has one angle greater than 90°.A scalene triangle has all three sides of different lengths.An isosceles triangle has two sides and two angles equal.An equilateral triangle has all its sides and angles equal.


Is 7 8 12 a right triangle?

7, 8 & 12 are the sides of the triangle.And, for a right angled triangle the Pythagoras theorem is always applicable!Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle:(Longest Side)2 = (Side-1)2 + (Side-2)2(Longest side is called as the hypotenuse).So, using data in the question:If its a right angled triangle--->122 = 72 + 82i.e. 144 = 49 + 64 => 144 = 113, which is clearly not true!Hence, the triangle with the given sides is not a right triangle.


What is a triangle with one 90 degree angle?

A right triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90-degree angle). The relation between the sides and angles of a right triangle is the basis for trigonometry.

What type of triangle have rational sides?

Any kind of triangle can have rational or irrational sides: acute angled, right angled or obtuse angled; equilateral, isosceles or scalene.


Can a right angled triangle have all equal sides?

No, a right-angled triangle cannot have all equal sides. A triangle with all equal sides is an equilateral triangle, and in such triangles, all angles are equal to 60 degrees, which does not satisfy the condition for a right angle (90 degrees). For a triangle to be right-angled, it must have one angle that is exactly 90 degrees.


What is The Difference Between an equilateral triangle And A Right Angled Triangle?

An equilateral triangle has all sides the same length and all its angles are 60dgrees. A right angled triangle is just a triangle with a right angle.


Does a right angled triangle have perpendicular sides?

Yes, a right-angled triangle has one angle that measures 90 degrees, which means that the two sides forming this angle are perpendicular to each other. These sides are often referred to as the "legs" of the triangle, while the side opposite the right angle is called the "hypotenuse." The perpendicular nature of the legs is what defines the triangle as right-angled.
