...also contains, as its name indicates, three angles. A right-angled triangle contains a right angle. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. The other two sides are called the base and perpendicular. Perpendicular. Base. It is an established theorem that the square of the hypotenuse... | |

...perpendicular to another, the angle between them is a right angle, and the triangle is a right-angled triangle. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse; the other two sides, the base and perpendicular. Thus, ABC is a right-angled triangle; AB being the base, BC the perpendicular,... | |

...one of the angles is formed by two lines perpendicular to each other, the triangle is a RIGHTANGLED TRIANGLE. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse; the other two sides the base and perpendicular. Thus, ABC is a right-angled triangle ; AB is the base, AC the perpendicular,... | |
