Root system inner product is the Killing form. The cosine of the angle between two roots is constrained to be a half-integral multiple of a square root of an integer. This is because formula_32 and formula_33 are both integers, by assumption, and formula_34 Since formula_35, the only possible values for formula_36 are formula_37 and formula_38, corresponding to angles of 90°, 60° or 120°, 45° or 135°, 30° or 150°, and 0° or 180°. Condition 2 says that no scalar multiples of "α" other than 1 and -1 can be roots, so 0 or 180°, which would correspond to 2"α" or −2"α", are
Right angle to vectors. The presence of a right angle in a triangle is the defining factor for right triangles, making the right angle basic to trigonometry. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. A square has four right angles, in addition to equal-length sides. The Pythagorean theorem states how to determine when a triangle is a right triangle. In Unicode, the symbol for a right angle is . It should not be confused with the similarly shaped symbol . Related symbols are , , and . In diagrams, the fact that an angle is a right angle is usually
