The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. To calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you would square the sides, add them up, and find the square root of the sum. When you find the square root of the sum, that will be the hypotenuse of your right triangle. For instance, let's say you are given a triangle. We'll call it Triangle ABC. In the triangle, you have three sides, Side A, Side B, and Side C. Sides A and B will represent the two known legs, also the shortest legs. Side C will represent the hypotenuse, the side we're trying to find. We know that Side A is 5km and that Side B is 12km. Now we just have to calculate the hypotenuse of the right triangle. To do that you would square both sides and add them, first. Like this: (5 x 5) + (12 x 12) which is the same as saying 25 + 144. Now you find the sum, which is 169. Now, there is one last step, finding the square root of the sum. Our square root would be 13, because we know that 13 x 13=169. So now you have found the missing side, the hypotenuse of the right triangle (Side C) which is 13km. And that's how you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hope I could help!
The answer depends on what other information you have about the triangle.
An acute angled triangle, right angled triangle or obtuse angled triangle.
a scalene can be a right-angled triangle or a obtuse angled triangle or a acute angled triangle depending on the angles of the triangle.

a right angled triangle is special because it is the only triangle that has a right angle with a dregree of 180.
Pythagoras's' theorem or "got an want" on a right angled triangle but use sine rule on a non right angled triangle !! ..
By using the formula a2+b2=c2, where a is one side of the right-angled triangle and b is the other side of the right angle triangle. C stands for the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. Note: this formula only works for RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLES!!!

thePythagoras theorem was simply to calculate the sides of a right angled triangle, isosceles triangle and cubes and cuboids here is the formulas; right angled triangle= a^2+b^2=c^2 for an isosceles triangle, split it in half and you have two right angled triangles, use the formula above afterwords cube/cuboids, you can find the face diagonal and the space diagonal by using the formula above to calculate if it is a right angled triangle or not, then you need the 3 sides( a, b and c)add a^2 and b^2, then calculate c^2, if a^2+b^2 is equal to c^2, then it is a right angled triangle, if not, then it isn't a right angled triangle by the converse of Pythagoras, hope this helped :-) hope its not to complicated for you!

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.
The right-angled triangle.
An obtuse angled triangle is wider than a right angled triangle. It has 180 degree angles.
1/2*base of triangle*height(the perpendicular)=Area of right angled triangle
