Best Answer

all the angles add up to 180 degrees

pythagorean theorem. if it works, you have a right angle triangle. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side, also known as the hypotenuse.

Can you show how a right triangle has one line of symmetry?

the only way for a right triangle to have a line of symmetry, is if the legs of the triangle are congruent. Or you can show that both non-right angles are congruent (45 degrees). you may also prove that the altitude of the triangle bisects the hypotenuse or that it equals 1/2 of the hypotenuse.

Can you prove that angle B is the only right angle in triangle ABC?

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180º. If B is a right angle it has 90º, so there are only 90º left for the other two angles, meaning that they cannot be right!
