How to Calculate Right Angle Triangle?

A right-angle triangle is having 3 sides the base, altitude, and hypotenuse. The angle formed by the joining point of altitude and the base is 90°. A right-angle triangle follows Pythagoras Theorem.

The Pythagoras Theorem formula for a right angle triangle is:  Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

Let's learn through an example how to find a triangle is a right angle triangle or not.

Solved Examples on Right Angle Triangle Calculator

Example 1:

If the three sides of a triangle are 13 units, 12 units, and 5 units. Calculate if the triangle formed is a right-angle triangle or not.

Solution:

The longest side of the triangle is the hypotenuse that is, Hypotenuse = 13 units

The other two sides are: Base = 12 units and Altitude = 5 units

Now apply the Pythagoras theorem and if the Pythagoras theorem formula satisfies then the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

13² = 12² + 5²

169 = 144 + 25

169 = 169

Since the Pythagoras theorem satisfies, therefore the triangle is a right angle triangle.

Example 2:

If the three sides of a triangle are 5 units, 7 units, and 9 units. Calculate if the triangle formed is a right-angle triangle or not.

Solution:

The longest side of the triangle is the hypotenuse that is, Hypotenuse = 9 units

The other two sides are: Base = 5 units and Altitude = 7 units

Now apply the Pythagoras theorem and if the Pythagoras theorem formula satisfies then the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

9² = 5² + 7²

81 = 25 + 49

81 ≠ 74

Since the Pythagoras theorem not satisfies, therefore the triangle is not a right angle triangle.

Example 3:

If the three sides of a triangle are 3 units, 4 units, and 5 units. Calculate if the triangle formed is a right-angle triangle or not.

Solution:

The longest side of the triangle is the hypotenuse that is, Hypotenuse = 5 units

The other two sides are: Base = 3 units and Altitude = 4 units

Now apply the Pythagoras theorem and if the Pythagoras theorem formula satisfies then the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

5² = 3² + 4²

25 = 9 + 16

25 = 25

Since the Pythagoras theorem satisfies, therefore the triangle is a right angle triangle.

Now, use our online Right Angle Triangle calculator and find if the triangle is right angle triangle or not whose sides are:

1) 15 units, 5 units, and 10 units

2) 25 units, 24 units, and 7 units
