Does sohcahtoa work on a 90 degree angle I have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1m no other sides or angles were provided?
No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.
When finding the sides and angles of a right triangle when is it necessary to use Trigonometry?
if you have any two sides, you can calculate either of the (non right angle) angles. if you have a (non right angle) angle and one side, you can calculate any other side. you will need either tables, or a scientific calculator with sin / cosine / tangent function
What is the name given to angles that form a right angle when added together?
Right angles aren't formed by other angles - it is already an angle itself. However, if you bisect a right angle, it becomes two acute angles.
What are the angles for a right angle?
A right angle, by definition, is 90 degrees. If you mean what are the other angles in a right triangle, you need one of the other angles in the triangle or the length of one side (not the hypotenuse) any two sides. You can then find the third side by Pythagoras, then the other two angles by simple trigonometry.
What angles make a right triangle?
One angle must be 90o, which is the right angle. The sum of the other two angles must equal 90o.
