It literally doesn't matter what the lengths are of the measurements of the right triangle, as long as one of the angles is indeed 90 degrees.

What three measurements could be the length of the side of a triangle?

They could be 3 cm by 4 cm by 5 cm for a right angle triangle.


The ratio of the angle maeasures in a triangle is 5 4 1 draw and classify the triangle by its angle measurements?

It will be a right angled triangle with angles of 90, 72 and 18 degrees.


Could these be side measurements for a right triangle 5 12 13?

Yes because they comply with Pythagoras' theorem.


Could measurements 5 12 13 be a right triangle?

yes.the property of right angled triangle is that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of other two sides thus (5*5)+(12*12)=169=(13*13)


Is 5 and 5 and 5 a right triangle?

No because the given dimensions would form an equilateral triangle


Can a scalene triangle have a right angle?

No because otherwise it would be a right angle triangle.


Would dimensions of 5 12 and 13 form a right triangle?

Yes, because they comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.


Do these three sides make a right triangle 5 5 3?

3, 5, 5 does not make a right angle triangle but they can make an isosceles triangle Correct. Try 3,4,5. That will be a right triangle. 3x3 plus 4x4 = 5x5


What 3 measurements make a right triangle?

There are many sets of side lengths that will make a right triangle. Try 3-4-5 or any multiple of those like 6-8-10. Another common one is 5-12-13 or a multiple thereof. The way to check to see if any three side lengths make a right triangle is to use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. If the longest side is c, calculate the value of c2 and see if it is less than, greater than or equal to a2 + b2, the sum of the squares of the other two sides. If the quantities are equal, the triangle would be a right triangle. If c2 is less than a2 + b2 the triangle would be acute. If c2 is greater than a2 + b2 the triangle would be obtuse.


Can a right triangle have sides of length 17 and 5 squre roots of 2?

No but the dimensions would be applicable to an isosceles triangle


Is it possible to draw a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm 4 cm and 5 cm?

Yes, those measurements can form a triangle. If you add any two sides, they will always be greater than the third, so it can be a triangle.Those measurements are actually called a "Pythagorean Triple", because those measurements (and their multiples) will always be a right triangle. Any Pythagorean Triple will measure to a right triangle.


4 in high and 5 in wide what is the length?

Assuming a right angled triangle then the length would be 3. This is a pythagorean triangle with sides 3, 4, 5.
