Because a right angle will always measure 90 degrees no matter what the dimensions of the triangle are.

How do you find theta for right triangle?
You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).
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.
What does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle split into two congruent parts?
That will depend on what type of triangle it is as for example if it is an isosceles triangle then it will form two congruent right angle triangles.
What is a triangle with one right angle?
a right triangle has one right angleA triangle with a right angle is a right triangle.
A triangle with one right angle?
A triangle with 1 right angle is a right angle triangle.
Explain how distances can be found using a right triangle?
Using trigonometric ratios.
When would you use the law of sines or law of cosines instead of a trigonometric ratio?
Trigonometric ratios, by themselves, can only be used for right angled triangles. The law of cosines or the sine law can be used for any triangle.
What does trigonometric ratios mean?
They may be defined as the ratios of the lengths of sides of a right angled triangle, relative to either of the other angles.sine = opposite/hypotenusecosine = adjacent/hypotenusetangent = opposite/adjacentcosecant = hypotenuse/oppositesecant = hypotenuse/adjacentcotangent = adjacent/opposite.
What is the trignometric ratios?
There are six trigonometric ratios. Although applicable for any angle, they are usually introduced in the context of a right angled triangle. The full names of the main three ratios are sine, cosine, tangent. The other three ratios are reciprocals, which are cosecant, secant and cotangent, respectively.Suppose ABC is a triangle which is right angled at B. Thus AC is the hypotenuse.sin(A) = BC/AC = cos(C)cos(A) = AB/AC = sin(C)tan(A) = BC/AB
Uses of six trigonometry functions?
The trigonometric functions give ratios defined by an angle. Whenever you have an angle and a side in right triangle, you can find all the other angles and sides using the six trigonometric functions and their inverses. The link below demonstrates the relationship between functions.
How can you use inverse trigonometric functions?
You can use them to find the sides and angles of a right triangle... just like regular trigonometric functions
Why are there six trigonometrics functions only?
All the trigonometric functions are derived from the right angled triangle. If we consider the three sides (AB, BC, CA) of a triangle and the included angle. There is a possibility of getting six functions based on the ratios like AB/AC, BC/AC, AB/BC, BC/AB, AC/BC, AC/AB . So we will have six trigonometric functions
How do you find theta for right triangle?
You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).
How can you solve for angle A given a right triangle when two sides are given in trigonometric functions?
It depends on the details of the specific triangle.
What is one of the trigonmetric functions?
The three basic trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos) and tangent (tan) They are found by comparing two of the three sides of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the the longest side of the right triangle, and is opposite the right angle. The other two sides are the legs. One leg is adjacent to an angle, and the other is opposite the angle. The three ratios are sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse tan(x) = opposite/adjacent =================
What is sine in trigonometric function?
Sine of an angle (in a right triangle) is the side opposite of the angle divided by the hypotenuse.
Right triangle ratios?
They are called Pythagorean triples such as 2, 4 and 5
