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.
Does a right triangle have two sides that are the same length?
In can, but it doesn't have to. Triangles can be either isosceles or scalene.
Find the lengths of the side of the right triangle if the longest side of the triangle is four more than the shortest side and the middle side is two more than the shortest side?
There is no such right triangle. You have defined the relationship between three sides of a triangle that does not have a 90 degree angle. In a right triangle the sum of the squares of the shorter sides equals the square of the longest side and 12 + 22 = 5 ; 42 = 16 it does not equal 5 The angles in a triangle with sides 1, 2, 4 units can be found by applying the cosine rule.
What triangle has no sides the same length?
A right triangle.
What is Pythagoras best remembered for?
Pythagoras is most famous for discovering Pythagoras' Theorem, which is a formula for finding lengths of sides on a right angled triangle. The formula is: a2+b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the shorter sides.
The two shorter sides in a right triangle?
In a right triangle, the two shorter sides are called legs.
The two shorter side of a right triangle are known as?
The short sides of a right triangle are the legs.
What is one of the two shorter sides of a right triangle?
Leg!
What are the shorter sides of right triangle called?
They are called the legs or the catheti.
What are the legs of a right triangle?
They are the two shorter sides which meet to form the right angle.
How do you find one of the shorter sides of a right angled triangle knowing the hypotenuse and one of the shorter sides?
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 c= hypotenuse a and b are the legs (sides) of the triangle
What are the Sides adjacent to the right angle of a triangle?
Adjacent means next to. So you're asking what sides of a triangle are next to the right angle of a triangle. That would be the 2 shorter sides of the triangle or 'legs' of the triangle. The hypotenuse (which is the longest side of the triangle) is directly across from the right angle.
What name is given to the two sides of the triangle that form the right angle?
The two shorter sides are the legs.
What is true of all hypotenuse compared to the other side?
The hypotenuse of any right triangle is longer than either one of the other two sides of the same right triangle. But it's shorter than their sum.
Height of an isosceles triangle?
If you know the length of the sides, you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the height. Use half the base for one of the shorter sides, and either of the two identical sides of the triangle for the hypothenuse. Solve for the other one of the shorter sides (the height).
A triangle has sides of lengths 6 2 and 7 is it a right triangle?
No. For a right angle triangle, the sum of the squares of the shorter sides equals the square of the longer side (the hypotenuse): 22 + 62 = 40 72 = 49
What is either of the two sides that form the right angle of a right triangle?
The right angle is formed by the intersection of the triangle's "legs".
