Triangle the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two other sides. If the hypotenuse has length "c", and the legs have lengths "a" and "b", then the theorem states that The converse is true: if the lengths of the sides of a triangle satisfy the above equation, then the triangle has a right angle opposite side "c". Some other facts about right triangles: For all triangles, angles and sides are related by the law of cosines and law of sines (also called the "cosine rule" and "sine rule"). The triangle inequality states that the sum
Pythagoras Peak theorem concerning a right-angled triangle is well known. Pythagoras Peak Pythagoras Peak is the highest peak, 1,275 m, in the central Tula Mountains, standing along the north side of Beaver Glacier, 8 nautical miles (15 km) southeast of Mount Storer. The peak has a prominent notch, the eastern aspect being a right-angled triangle with a perpendicular northern face. It was photographed from Mount Riiser-Larsen in February 1958 by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) led by Phillip Law, but was first visited and surveyed in December 1958 by G.A. Knuckey, ANARE surveyor. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee
