  2. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    Set square shaped as 45° - 45° - 90° triangle The side lengths of a 45° - 45° - 90° triangle 45° - 45° - 90° right triangle of hypotenuse length 1.. In plane geometry, dividing a square along its diagonal results in two isosceles right triangles, each with one right angle (90°, ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) and two other congruent angles each measuring half of a right angle (45°, or ...

  3. Hypotenuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotenuse

    A right triangle with the hypotenuse c. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the side that is opposite the right angle, while the other two sides are called the catheti or legs. [7] The length of the hypotenuse can be calculated using the square root function implied by the Pythagorean theorem. It states that the sum of the two legs squared ...

  4. Right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_triangle

    A right triangle ABC with its right angle at C, hypotenuse c, and legs a and b,. A right triangle or right-angled triangle, sometimes called an orthogonal triangle or rectangular triangle, is a triangle in which two sides are perpendicular, forming a right angle (1 ⁄ 4 turn or 90 degrees).

  5. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.

  6. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be S = ⁠ 13×5 / 2 ⁠ = 32.5 units. However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667), so the apparent combined hypotenuse in each figure is actually bent. With the bent ...

  7. Spiral of Theodorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_of_Theodorus

    The spiral is started with an isosceles right triangle, with each leg having unit length.Another right triangle (which is the only automedian right triangle) is formed, with one leg being the hypotenuse of the prior right triangle (with length the square root of 2) and the other leg having length of 1; the length of the hypotenuse of this second right triangle is the square root of 3.

  8. Heronian triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heronian_triangle

    In geometry, a Heronian triangle (or Heron triangle) is a triangle whose side lengths a, b, and c and area A are all positive integers. [1] [2] Heronian triangles are named after Heron of Alexandria, based on their relation to Heron's formula which Heron demonstrated with the example triangle of sides 13, 14, 15 and area 84.

  9. Pythagorean addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_addition

    In mathematics, Pythagorean addition is a binary operation on the real numbers that computes the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, given its two sides.According to the Pythagorean theorem, for a triangle with sides and , this length can be calculated as = +, where denotes the Pythagorean addition operation.
