The sides vary from triangle to triangle. There is a right triangle referred to as the 3-4-5. This basic triangle has been used for construction of the pyramids and other ancient buildings. They could use any unit of length, and if one side was 3 units, one 4 units and the other 5 units, they had a right triangle.

The angles are measurable, which is the basis of trigonometry, and will always add up to 180 degrees - as in all triangles. A right triangle has two sides that meet at a 90 degee angle.
