Right triangle altitude to the hypotenuse is related to the legs of the right triangle by For solutions of this equation in integer values of "a, b, f", and "c", see here. The altitude from either leg coincides with the other leg. Since these intersect at the right-angled vertex, the right triangle's orthocenter—the intersection of its three altitudes—coincides with the right-angled vertex. The Pythagorean theorem states that: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the
Right triangle right triangle, see the hyperbolic triangle of a hyperbolic sector. The values of the trigonometric functions can be evaluated exactly for certain angles using right triangles with special angles. These include the "30-60-90 triangle" which can be used to evaluate the trigonometric functions for any multiple of π/6, and the "45-45-90 triangle" which can be used to evaluate the trigonometric functions for any multiple of π/4. Let "H", "G", and "A" be the harmonic mean, the geometric mean, and the arithmetic mean of two positive numbers "a" and "b" with "a" > "b". If a right triangle has legs "H"
