Does a right triangle have perpendicular sides?
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 sides does a square triangle have?
A square triangle, also known as a right triangle, has three sides, just like any other triangle. The term "square" in this context refers to one of the angles being a right angle, not the shape of the triangle itself. So, a square triangle has two legs and a hypotenuse, totaling three sides.
What is A shape with three sides called?
A shape with three sides is called a triangle: 3 equal sides = equilateral 2 sides same length = isosceles 1 right angle = right-angled triangle
Is an scalene triangle an obtuse or an right triangle?
A scalene has three sides of unequal lengths, and all threes angles different.The largest angle defines the triangle¹:acute: a scalene triangle could have sides 6, 9, 10right angle: a scalene triangle could have sides 6, 8, 10obtuse: a scalene triangle could have sides 6, 7, 10So a scalene triangle could be any of acute, right angle or obtuse.¹In terms of acute, right angle or obtuse. Triangles can also be defined in terms of their sides: equilateral (all three sides equal), isosceles (two sides equals) or scalene (no sides equal)
Do scalene triangles have three different angles?
Yes. A scalene triangle is, by definition, a triangle with all sides and angles different. An equilateral triangle has all sides and angles the same, an isosceles triangle has 2 sides and 2 angles equal, and a right triangle has a right angle, but it is also possible for an isosceles triangle to be a right triangle.
