How many times in a month are the sun and the moon at right angles to each other?

The line between the Sun and the Earth is at right angles to the Earth-Moon line twice each lunar cycle, about 29.5 days. That isn't exactly twice per month, but pretty close.
When the bodies are in a right-angle arrangement, we see first quarter and third quarter moon phases, and we experience the lower-than-average "neap" tides.

How much greater is the sum of the interior angles of a rombus than the sum of the angles of a right triangle?
interior angles of a rhombus = 360 interior angles of a right triangle =180 2 times as many
How do you find sides of right triangle given only the hypotenuse and all angles?
One is the hypotenuse times the sine of one acute angle, the other, the hypotenuse times the sine of the other acute angle (or the cosine of the first).
What is the number of times in a 7 day period will the hour and minute hand of a wristwatch be at right angles?
They will be at right angels, 14 times per week.
How many times does a clock have a right angle in 24 hours?
twice if you're looking for exact right angles
One of two supplementary angles is 9 times as large as the other How large is the smaller of the two angles?
Supplementary angles are angles which add to 180o. So, one angle is nine times as large as the other, therefore letting the smaller angle be X, we have the following: 9X + X = 180 10X = 180 X=18o and the other is 9 times this amount or 162o
What is the measure of the smaller acute angle in a right triangle if one of the angle is 4 times the other?
Since the angles of a triangle add up to 180°, if one of the angles is a right angle (definition of a right triangle) then the sum of the other two will be 90°. If we designate the measure of the smaller acute angle as "x" then the other angle will be "4x" and: x + 4x = 90° so 5x= 90° and x = 18°
Quadrilaterals with four right angles?
The answer is a rectangle because the angles in a rectangle add up to 360`, since a right angle measures 90`. Then four times 90` (4 * 90`=360`).
What are the qualities of a rhombus?
It is a 4 equal sided quadrilateral It has 2 diagonals that intersect each other at right angles It has 2 equal opposite acute angles It has 2 equal opposite obtuse angles Its 4 angles add up to 360 degrees It will tessellate leaving no gaps or overlaps It has a perimeter which is the sum of its 4 sides It has an area which is 0.5 times the product of its diagonals It can be divided into right angle triangles
What happens to the sun moon and the earth are all at right angles?
In that case, the tides caused by the the Sun and the Moon cancel in part, so the tides will be weaker than at other times.
Clocks can make how many right angles?
At one time, a clock would make 4 right angles. But looking at it many times, you will feel that it makes not 4 but more than 4. App infinite.
In a right triangle one of the acute angles is five times as large as the other acute angle Find the measure of the two acute angles?
Suppose the two acute angles are A and B degrees, where A = 3B. then A+B = 90 (since the sum of all three angles is 180) that is, 3B+BA=90 or 4B=90 => B=22.5 and then A= 3*22.5 = 67.5
How many times do the hands of a clock form right angles in a 24 hour time period?
Twice.
