Right Angled Triangle – Formula, Definition, Properties

2023-01-17T06:26:45-04:00January 6th, 2023|Math-e-Magics|

A right triangle is a special type of triangle in which one of the angles measures 90°. When we do have a right triangle, the measure of the remaining two angles that are not the right angle CANNOT be equal to 90°, as the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equal to 180°.

Triangles are a basic shape in geometry, and they come in many different types. Each type of triangle has its own unique properties and characteristics, which make them useful in different situations. In this article, we will explore the different types of triangles and their properties, including equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, scalene triangles, and right triangles. By understanding the different types of triangles, we can better understand how to use them in mathematics, science, and engineering.

The Pythagorean Theorem, created by Pythagoras of Samos, can be used to solve for missing sides of a right triangle. Its states that the sum of the squares of the legs of the triangle are equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Two perpendicular lines form an angle of 90o at the intersection point. That is, they make 90o at the intersection point. To know that a line is perpendicular to another line, check its gradients or slopes.

The focus of our previous tutorial was about the equation of a parabola. A parabola that has its vertex at the origin is of the form: $$y^{2}=4 p x$$ From this general equation, we can readily determine if the parabola opens upwards, downwards, left, or right.

We are already aware of the solution of a system of two linear equations. To find a solution to a system of linear equations, we apply the Gaussian elimination, algebraic substitution, or graphical method. We covered that in our previous tutorial.

Rates of doing work differ from person to person. Even if they are machines, their rate of doing work is slightly different even if they look very identical. Think of taps filling a tank. We can’t assume that both can take the same time filling the tank. That is because we don’t know about the water pressure from the source.
