You use the Formula A(2) +B(2) = C(2)
C is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the largest side which is always opposite of the right angle. A and B are sides of and it does not matter what side you use as a or b

For Example: the sides are 5 12 and 6.


|\
5| \ 12
|__\
6

a b c
5(5) + 6(6) = 12(12) = 144
25 36 61

Since 144 does not equal 61 it is NOT a right triangle. If they were equal the triangle would be a right triangle.

|\
4| \ 5
|__\
3

a b c
3(3) + 4(4) = 5(5) = 25
9 16 25

Since 25 Equals 25 The Triangle IS a Right Triangle.

If it gives you Angle The Hypotenuse (C) and one side(A) The Equation would look like this:

C(2) - A(2) = B(2)

5(5) - 3(3) = 4(4)
25 - 9 = 16




Hope It Helped; and sorry for all that to read!

Can isosceles triangles be right?

Yes, isosceles triangles can be right triangles. An isosceles triangle has at least two sides of equal length, and if one of the angles is a right angle (90 degrees), the triangle is classified as a right isosceles triangle. In this case, the two equal sides are the legs of the triangle, and the third side is the hypotenuse.


Is a right angle an isosceles angle?

Isosceles triangles are triangles in which 2 angles and 2 sides are congruent, or equal. There is nothing called an isosceles angle. Some isosceles triangles are right triangles. This is where the non-congruent triangle is a right triangle, and the other two are 45 degrees each. This type of triangle is called a 45-45-90 triangle. Two sides are multiples of one and the third is a multiple of root-2. In other words yes it is.
