Right Triangle

1. Define a right triangle.

Solution:

pravouhly1a
a) Pythagorean theorem:

a2 + b2 = c2

b) Goniometric functions:

pravouhly1b

c) Perimeter:

O = a + b + c

d) Area:

pravouhly1c

c) Euclid theorems:

a2 = c.ca
b2 = c.cb
v2 = ca.cb

2. The catheti of a right triangle ΔABC are a =3 cm, b = 4 cm.

Determine:
a) Size of the hypotenuse c
b) Height perpendicular to the hypotenuse, vc
c) Area S
d) Acute angles α and β
Solution:
pravouhly2

For the triangle ΔABC stands: c = 5cm, vc = 2,4cm, S = 6cm2, α = 36,87°, β = 53,16°.

3. Let a, b be a right triangles‘ catheti, c a right triangles‘ hypotenuse, α the angle opposite to a.
