The sides of right-angled triangles are labelled opposite, hypotenuse and adjacent. Trigonometry explores the relationship between sides and angles in right-angled triangles. The hypotenuse is the ...

Click to see a step-by-step guide. STEP 1: Use the ruler to draw a diagonal line from the bottom right corner of the paper to the top left corner. Mark the 90° right angles in the bottom left and top ...

Do you think there’s a triangle whose angles measure 41, 76 and 63 degrees? At first, answering this may seem easy. From geometry class we know that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a ...

MOST READERS will have encountered Pythagoras’s theorem about right-angled triangles—that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides—at school. But the less ...

With all due respect to Pythagoras, newly uncovered evidence suggests that his famous theorem, used to calculate the lengths of each side of a right triangle, might be 1,000 years older than him. That ...
