There is the Pythagorean relationship between the side lengths. Given a right triangle with sides a, b, & c : Sides a & b are adjacent to the right angle, and side c is opposite the right angle, and this side is called the hypotenuse.
Side c is always the longest side, and can be found by c2 = a2 + b2
The 2 angles (which are not the right angle) will add up to 90°
Given one of those angles (call it A), then sin(A) = (opposite)/(hypotenuse) {which is the length of the side opposite of angle A, divided by the length of the hypotenuse}
cos(A) = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse), and tan(A) = (opposite)/(adjacent).

What type of triangle is the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem is not a triangle. It's a statement that describes a relationship among the lengths of the sides in any right triangle.
What do the Pythagorean theorem variables stand for?
Since the Pythagorean Theorem deals with the relationship among the lengths of the sides of a right triangle, it is altogether fitting and proper, and a fortuitous coincidence, that the variables in the algebraic statement of the Theorem stand for the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.
What is the relationship between the hypotenuse and a right angle?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite to the right angle in the triangle.
What is the relationship between the 2 acute angles in a right angle triangle?
They total 90o
What kind of triangle has a right angle?
A right triangle is a triangle with a right angle.a right triangle is a triangle with 1 side as a right angle

What is an Aristotelian triangle?
the relationship among the speaker, the subject and the audience.

What type of triangle is described by the pythagorean relationship?
A right triangle - one of the angles has to be 90 degrees
Who discovered the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?
Pythagorus
What are the side length relationship of a right triangle?
its too even :)
What is the relationship between the hypotenuse and a right angle?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite to the right angle in the triangle.
What is the relationship of right triangle to the theorem?
two parts of a right triangle (normally a&b) equal another part of the triangle (c) the pythagorean theorem is a(squared) + b(squared) = c(squared).
Who was the first person to notice the relationship between legs and hypotunice of a right triangle?
Pythagoras
What is the relationship between the 2 acute angles in a right angle triangle?
They total 90o
What relationship does the hypotenuse have with the circle?
The hypotenuse has no intrinsic relationship to the circle. The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle that is opposite to the right angle. You can draw a circle that has a hypotenuse as its diameter or its radius, but you can do that with any line segment. It would not be related in another way to the triangle.
Do A triangle with sides of lengths 32 60 and 68 is a right triangle?
Yes, the triangle is right-angled because 322 + 602 = 682. Given all three side lengths, you can use the Pythagorean relationship to determine whether a triangle is or is not right-angled. The right angle would be opposite the hypotenuse, 68.
