Special right triangle is 90°, leaving the remaining angle to be 30°. Right triangles whose sides are of integer lengths, with the sides collectively known as Pythagorean triples, possess angles that cannot all be rational numbers of degrees. (This follows from Niven's theorem.) They are most useful in that they may be easily remembered and any multiple of the sides produces the same relationship. Using Euclid's formula for generating Pythagorean triples, the sides must be in the ratio where "m" and "n" are any positive integers such that . There are several Pythagorean triples which are well-known, including those with sides in the
Right angle be made quickly and without technical instruments. The geometric law behind the measurement is the Pythagorean theorem ("The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two adjacent sides"). Thales' theorem states that an angle inscribed in a semicircle (with a vertex on the semicircle and its defining rays going through the endpoints of the semicircle) is a right angle. Two application examples in which the right angle and the Thales' theorem are included (see animations). Right angle In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle of exactly
