A right triangle.

Not necessarily.

All that can be said is that is is not an equilateral triangle. It can be isosceles or scalene. It can be acute angled, right angled or obtuse angled.

The hypotenuse of a 30 60 90 triangle has a length of 17 What is the length of the side opposite the 60 angle?

I know that the side lengths of a 30 60 90 triangle have a relationship. Opposite from the 30 degree angle is the smallest side of the triangle, since a small angle can only hold a small side. Opposite from the 90 degree angle is the longest side since 90 is the largest of the angles. This side is also called the hyponteneuse. Across from the 60 degree angle, the medium-sized angle, is the medium side. The relationship between the sides of this special right triangle is short side = x big side or hypoteneuse = 2x (in other words, twice as long as the short side) medium side = x times the square root of 3 (or about 1.7 times as long as the short side) So if the hypoteneuse is 17 units long, the short side is half as long or 8.5 units. The medium side is 8.5 x sqrt3 or about 14.72 units long.


What is the formula for finding a missing side on a congruent triangle?

It is the same length as the corresponding side on the other triangle.


Explain Why the height of a triangle depends on which side you select for the base?

The height of a triangle is the length of the perpendicular dropped to the base (extended if necessary) from the opposite vertex. This depends on which side is the base, unless the triangle is equilateral. For example, if you have a tall skinny isosceles triangle whose equal sides are a mile long and the third side is an inch long, the height is about a mile if you choose the third side as the base. If you choose either of the other two sides as base, the height will be about an inch.


Midpoint of hypotenuse of right triangle?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 a and b are the distances for the side of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse(long side)

Consider a right triangle that has these dimensions The side opposite angle A is 6 meters and the side adjacent angle A is 8 meters. How long is the hypotenuse?

When two sides of a right triangle are 6 and 8, the triangle is similar to a 3-4-5 right triangle. Since 6 is twice 3 and 8 is twice 4, the hypotenuse has to be twice 5 or 10.
