Can a right angle triangle ever be equilateral?
No it can't. The hypotenuse of a right triangle will always be longer than either one of the other two sides.
In a right triangle Is the hypotenuse always the longest of the three sides?
Yes, because the sides connected to the right angle cannot extend longer than the distance between their end points.
What right triangle has legs of equal length?
A right-angled triangle can be an Isosceles Triangle, but NOT an equilateral triangle. An Isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. They form the 90 degree (right angle). The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle, and is longer than the other two sides.
The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 9 feet longer than either of its legs. what the exact length of each side?
Each leg is 21.73 feet and the Hypotenuse is 30.73 feet. (0.73 feet is a whisker over 8¾ inches)
Why is the sine of an angle less than 1?
In a right triangle, the sine of the angle is equal to the (leg opposite the angle) divided by the (hypotenuse). It's well known that the hypotenuse is always the longest side in the right triangle, so this division can never come out to be more than ' 1 '.
