Right triangle two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle). This can be stated in equation form as where "c" is the length of the hypotenuse, and "a" and "b" are the lengths of the remaining two sides. Pythagorean triples are integer values of "a, b, c" satisfying this equation. The radius of the incircle of a right triangle with legs "a" and "b" and hypotenuse "c" is The radius of the circumcircle is half the length of the hypotenuse, Thus the sum of the circumradius and the inradius is half the sum of the legs: One of the
Pappus's area theorem rather than only for right angled ones and secondly it uses parallelograms rather than squares. For squares on two sides of an arbitrary triangle it yields a parallelogram of equal area over the third side and if the two sides are the legs of a right angle the parallelogram over the third side will be square as well. For a right-angled triangle, two parallelograms attached to the legs of the right angle yield a rectangle of equal area on the third side and again if the two parallelograms are squares then the rectangle on the third side will be a
