Best Answer

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.

Does a right-angled triangle have any equal sides?

A right-angled triangle can have equal sides, but does not have to. A right-angled triangle with two equal sides CANNOT be an equilateral triangle. A right-angled triangle cannot be an equilateral triangle.Divide a square along the diagonal, and you are left with two right-angled triangles with two sides of equal length.


What do you call a triangle that has no equal sides?

a 'SCALENE' triangle. ; No equal sides, and no equal angles. An ISOSCELES triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. An EQUILATERAL tringle has three equal sides and three equal angles all at 60 degrees. A RIGHT ANGLED triangle has one right angle (90 degrees) in it.
