A right triangle in a plane is one in which one of the three angles is a right angle. It is obious that the two sides, making up the right angle, must be perpendicular. In symbols, if triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle B as the right angle, then the sides AB and BC are perpendicular.

How many perpendicular lines does an isosceles triangle have?
If it is a 45° 45° 90° isosceles right triangle, then there are 2 sides that are perpendicular.
Does a triangle only have one pair of parrell sides?
A triangle has no parallel sides but a right angle triangle has perpendicular sides that meet at 90 degrees.
What shape has exactly 2 perpendicular sides?
A right angled triangle is an example of a shape with exactly 2 perpendicular sides.
How many perpendicular sides does an obtuse triangle have?
An obtuse triangle is a triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees. Since a perpendicular side is a side that forms a right angle with another side, an obtuse triangle can have 0 perpendicular sides if all its angles are obtuse. However, it can also have 1 perpendicular side if one of its angles is a right angle.
What is a perpendicular triangle?
a triangle with 2 sides
Does a triangle have sides that are perpendicular?
No, not in general. Only a right triangle has two sides which are perpendicular.
What are the perpendicular sides of a right triangle called?
The perpendicular sides of a right triangle are its legs. The remaining side is the hypotenuse.
How many pairs of perpendicular sides does a right triangle have?
Perpendicular means meeting at a right angle. A right triangle has 2 sides that are perpendicular, so it has 1 pair of sides that are perpendicular They are known as the "legs" of the right triangle.
Can a right triangle have perpendicular sides?
No
Does a triangle have parallel and perpendicular sides?
A triangle has no parallel sides but in the form of a right angle triangle it has perpendicular lines that meet at right angles which is 90 degrees.
Which triangle with two sides perpendicular and no two sides congruent?
That would be a right triangle. The perpendicular lines make up the right angle.
What triangle has perpendicular sides?
Right triangle or 90 degree triangle.
Does obtuse triangles have perpendicular sides?
No but a right angle triangle has perpendicular sides and an hypotenuse.
What type of triangle has 2 perpendicular sides?
A right triangle.
What triangle must have a pair of perpendicular sides?
A right triangle.
Does the triangle has parallel side and perpendicular side?
No triangle can have parallel sides but a right angle triangle has perpendicular sides that meet at 90 degrees
Are all the sides of a right triangle perpendicular?
If you have a triangle then one of the sides cannot be perpendicular to the other two. It is true for a square but it is impossible with a triangle. Definition of perpendicular: Being at right angles to the horizontal; vertical.
