Measure 3 of any unit on one of the sides that you suppose have a right angle. Measure 4 of the same unit an the oher side you suppose has a right angle. the distance between the marks you made should mbe 5 if it is a right angle

What right triangle has legs of equal length?
It's not possible to have a right angle triangle with sides of equal length. The sides on a right angle triangle are always in the ratio 3:4:5.
In a right triangle the sine of any angle is?
The longest side of the right angles triangle is called the hypotenuse. Divide the length of the side opposite the chosen angle by the length of the hypotenuse. This is the Sine of the angle.
How do you find the angle of a right triangle with the length of two legs?
-- Like every triangle, a right triangle has three interior angles.-- Unlike any other triangle, one of the angles in a right triangle is a right angle.The other two are both acute angles.-- One acute angle is the angle whose cosine is length of one leg / length of hypotenuse-- Other acute angle is the angle whose sine is length of the same leg / length of the hypotenuse-- The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of [ (length of one leg)2 + length of other leg)2 ]
What is the length of altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a triangle with given sides of 7 and 21?
If it's a right angle triangle then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the 3rd side
What is the name of A triangle with sides of no equal length?
A triangle with no right angle and sides of different lengths is a scalene triangle.
How to measure length of two sides height diagonal of a right angle triangle where all degrees of angle and length of base given?
The answer depends on whether the base is one of the legs of the right angle or the hypotenuse. Also, a triangle cannot have a diagonal.
How long must a right triangle be?
It can be any length; a right angle triangle just needs to include a right angle somewhere. But length has nothing to do with whether it is a right angle or not.
Can the area of a triangle be found when only one specified length is given?
Yes providing that it's an equilateral triangle or a right angle isosceles triangle.
What is the formula to find the length of a right angle triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
In this triangle side AC 2 side BC 3 and side AB 4. Is triangle ABC a right triangle?
In right triangle ABC, angle C is a right angle, AB = 13and BC = 5 What is the length of AC? Draw the triangle to help visualize the problem.
What is a right scalent triangle?
A right scalent triangle is a triangle with a right angle and no sides equal in length.
How do you find an angle within a non-right angled triangle when only given one side length?
You cannot find any angle, or either of the other two sides, in a non-right triangle, when given only one side.
How do you find the length of a side of a triangle which is not a right angled triangle given two lengths and an angle?
Depending on which sides and angle are known you would use one of the trigonometry functions.
A triangle with 2 equal sides but no right angle?
a triangle with two sides the same length and no right angle
What right triangle has legs of equal length?
It's not possible to have a right angle triangle with sides of equal length. The sides on a right angle triangle are always in the ratio 3:4:5.
What does right isosceles mean?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. A right triangle has an interior angle of 90 degrees. A right isosceles triangle has both characteristics. The 90 degree angle will be the angle formed by the sides of equal length.
What triangle has all sides the same length and has a right angle?
equilateral right triangle
