OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that much, but when can i use it? Like it has to be isosceles or something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be a right triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, whats a right triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, good right triangle has an angle that is 90 degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when it has agnle which is 90 degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but if all the angles are 90 then wont it have an interior angle sum of 270 and not 180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if all angles are 90 degree, you won't have a triangle on a plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it depends what you want to know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it sounds like u need some help with shapes all to gether

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2 + b^2 = c^2? thanks for the pic!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes do u know how to aply it my mom dont :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you do this Create two sets of three triangle lengths: one set that does create a right triangle and another that does not. Show and explain why the first set does create a right triangle and why the second set does not.
