History [edit]. In 1938, polytetrafluoroethylene (DuPont brand name Teflon) was discovered by accident by a recently hired DuPont Ph.D., Roy J. Plunkett. While working with tetrafluoroethylene gas, he noticed that a previously-pressurized cylinder had no pressure remaining.
Triangle Sides Calculator. This calculator calculates for the length of one side of a right triangle given the length of the other two sides. A right triangle has two sides perpendicular to each other. Sides a and b are the perpendicular sides and side c is the hypothenuse. Enter the length of any two sides and leave the side to be calculated blank. Please check out also the Regular Triangle Calculator and the Irregular Triangle Calculator.
He proved that, for a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two sides that join at a right angle equals the square of the third side. The third side--the side opposite the right angle--is called the hypotenuse of the right triangle. right triangle can also be an isosceles triangle--which means that it has two sides that are equal. A right isosceles triangle has a 90-degree angle and two 45-degree angles. This is the only right triangle that is an isosceles triangle.
