Right triangle then with equality only in the isosceles case. If segments of lengths "p" and "q" emanating from vertex "C" trisect the hypotenuse into segments of length "c"/3, then The right triangle is the only triangle having two, rather than one or three, distinct inscribed squares. Let "h" and "k" ("h" > "k") be the sides of the two inscribed squares in a right triangle with hypotenuse "c". Then These sides and the incircle radius "r" are related by a similar formula: The perimeter of a right triangle equals the sum of the radii of the incircle and the three excircles:
Special right triangle its sides be in a geometric progression. The 3–4–5 triangle is the unique right triangle (up to scaling) whose sides are in an arithmetic progression. Let be the side length of a regular decagon inscribed in the unit circle, where "φ" is the golden ratio. Let be the side length of a regular hexagon in the unit circle, and let {2}}</math>}} be the side length of a regular pentagon in the unit circle. Then , so these three lengths form the sides of a right triangle. The same triangle forms half of a golden rectangle. It may also be found
