When will two right triangles be similar?
To prove that two right triangles are similar, all you need to show is that one of them has one acute angle that's equal to one acute angle of the other one.
How do you prove cot squared theta plus cos squared theta plus sin squared theta scs squared theta?
Until an "equals" sign shows up somewhere in the expression, there's nothing to prove.
What are four ways you can prove two right triangles are congruent?
1. The side angle side theorem, when used for right triangles is often called the leg leg theorem. it says if two legs of a right triangle are congruent to two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Now if you want to think of it as SAS, just remember both angles are right angles so you need only look at the legs.2. The next is the The Leg-Acute Angle Theorem which states if a leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the two right triangles are congruent. This is the same as angle side angle for a general triangle. Just use the right angle as one of the angles, the leg and then the acute angle.3. The Hypotenuse-Acute Angle Theorem is the third way to prove 2 right triangles are congruent. This one is equivalent to AAS or angle angle side. This theorem says if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, the two triangles are congruent. This is the same as AAS again since you can use the right angle as the second angle in AAS.4. Last, but not least is Hypotenuse-Leg Postulate. Since it is NOT based on any other rules, this is a postulate and not a theorem. HL says if the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
How do you prove a right angle triangle?
You cannot prove "a right angle triangle". You may or may not be able to prove statements about right angled triangles but that will depend on the particular statement.
How do you prove a square has one right angle?
it doesnt
