an exact answer would be twelve times the square root of three
sqrt(312 - 232) = sqrt(432) = 20.785 units
square the length of the 2 shorter sides, add them together, take the square root and you have the hypotenuse
Using Pythagoras' theorem: a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of the triangle and c is its hypotenuse
Right triangles have one right angle. Scalene triangleIs have sides of unequal length. Right scalene triangles combine those aspects.
Yes- but not all isosceles triangles are right triangles. Isosceles means that two sides are the same length, and two angles are the same.
yes it only apllies to the right triangle and "c" is the hypotnuse of the triangles

height*height+base*base=hypotnuse*hypotnuse where hypotenuse is the longest side in a right angled triangle

it works on all right triangles
No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle. This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D
an icoceles triangle or a scalene triangle Actually you would get two right angled triangles. Isosceles triangles have two sides which are equal in length. A scalene triangle has all sides a different length and no right angles.
Right Triangles = 1 angle is 90 degrees Equilateral Triangles = Triangles with all three sides are equal in length
In trigonometry, when we look at right triangles, the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse.
