Lévy C curve with a straight line. An isosceles triangle with angles of 45°, 90° and 45° is built using this line as its hypotenuse. The original line is then replaced by the other two sides of this triangle. At the second stage, the two new lines each form the base for another right-angled isosceles triangle, and are replaced by the other two sides of their respective triangle. So, after two stages, the curve takes the appearance of three sides of a rectangle with the same length as the original line, but only half as wide. At each subsequent stage, each straight line
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
