Does sohcahtoa work on a 90 degree angle I have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1m no other sides or angles were provided?
No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.
How do you work out the angles of a triangle with only one angle?
You cannot.
What is the angle that a right angle triangle has?
The angle directly opposite the hypotenuse is always 90o in a right angle triangle and if you know the other sides you can work out the other angles using one of the three trigonometry equations. Sin, Tan or Cos then use the inverse and you will get the degree.
Where does Pythagoras's rule not work?
Pythagoras's Rule does not work if the triangle is not a right angle triangle, that is having one angle equal to 90 degrees. (The rule can still be applied by creating right angles along one or more sides, using lines perpendicular to the side.)
Can a triangle have an obtuse anlge and a right angle'?
No. ================================ Another contributor waxed more verbose: The three angles inside a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. A right angle has 90 degrees, and an obtuse angle is one with more than 90 degrees. You'd have more than 180 degrees right there with those two angles, and you'd still need another angle in your triangle. So it doesn't work
Is it possible to work out the other angles of a triangle given only one angle?
YesAnother Answer:-Yes under certain conditions depending on what type of triangle it is and the measure of the angle givenBut normally two angles are needed to find the third angle in a triangle
You have 3 sides of an isosceles triangle how do you work out the top angle?
In an isosceles triangle, the two angles at the bottom are equal. Subtract the sum of the two bottom angles from 180 to find how many degrees are in the top angle.
How does the Pythagorean Theorem work?
The Pythagorean Theorem explains (or permits calculation of) the length of one side of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are known. A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the three angles is a right angle (i.e. it has 90 degrees) For that kind of triangle, if A = the length of one of the sides making the right angle, B = the length of the other side making the right triangle, and C = the length of the side opposite to the right angle (also called the hypotenuse, then C2 = A2 + B2
Which three angle measures could represent the measures of the interior angles of a triangle?
All interior angles of a triangle MUST (a triangle by definition states that all interior angles MUST) add up to 180. Any measures would work, provided the three angles would add up to 180*....so a triangle with angles 1, 1, and 178 degrees works, as well as a triangle with 60, 60, and 60 degrees. Any angle combinations work, as long as the three angles add up to 180.
Is there any such thing as an obtuse right triangle?
No. A obtuse angle cannot be a right triangle- it is so wrong that it can't even be a left angle (While true, this part is of course, a joke...).There are two ways we name our triangles: using angles and how long the angles' sides are. The angles: there are three. The measurements: there are also three.The measurement triangles (aka. how long the angles and sides are) come in three types: the equilateral, the isosceles, and the scalene.The equilateral triangle has angles the measure sixty degrees and all sides measure the same length.The isosceles triangle has two sides that measure the same length, but one side has a different measurement. Same thing with the angles.The scalene triangle has all sides a different length with all sides a different measurement for the angles.The angled triangles work on three angles: the acute, the right, and the obtuse.The acute triangle's "A" point to its "B" point's angle is an angle that is acute.The right triangle's "A" to its "B" is a right angle...And the obtuse triangle's "A" to its "B" is an obtuse angle.Right angles and obtuse angles are way different...Right angles measure ninty degrees while obtuse angles measure more than ninty degrees but less than one hundred eighty degrees.Therefore, there is no such thing as an obtuse righttriangle.
What is side A in triangle ABC rounded to the nearest hundredth if B is 35 and C is 21?
Not enough information has been given to work out side A such as any of its angles upon which the sine rule could have been used to find side A but if the given triangle is a right angle triangle then side A is 28 which conforms to Pythagoras theorem for a right angle triangle.
How do you work out what the smallest angle is in a right angled triangle?
It depends on what else you know about the triangle.
