Right triangle practice problems
A right triangle is a type of triangle that has one angle that measures exactly 90 degrees (a right angle). This angle is formed by the intersection of two of the triangle's sides, which are called the legs of the triangle. The other side of the triangle is called the hypotenuse, which is the side opposite the right angle, and is the longest side of the triangle. Right triangles are important in mathematics and are used in many areas of science and engineering, including trigonometry, physics, and construction.Number of problems found: 1712
- The supplement

In a right-angled triangle, the measure of an angle is 40°. Find the measure of other angles of the triangle in degrees. - The hypotenuse
The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 20 meters. If the difference between the lengths of the other sides is 4 meters, find the other sides. - A right
A right triangle has side lengths a=3, b=5, and c=4, as shown below. Use these lengths to find tan x, sin x, and cos x.
- General right triangle
In a right triangle, if a =x+34 and b = x and c= 50, then solve for x. Side c is a hypotenuse. Then discuss the case when a or b is a hypotenuse. - The angle 9
