A three-sided shape with one pair of perpendicular lines is called a right triangle. In a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90 degrees), which means that one pair of sides are perpendicular to each other. The other two angles are acute, measuring less than 90 degrees. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

A shape with three and only three sides is a triangle, but it is not possible for a triangle to have three perpendicular sides.
Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle. In two dimensions, perpendicular lines form right angles, which are commonly found in the shape of a square, rectangle, or any other quadrilateral with perpendicular sides. In three dimensions, perpendicular lines can form the edges of a cube or rectangular prism.
