A congruence theorem for two right angled triangles 2016-07-17
Sayari pose la question :
Hello. Is it possible for two right angled triangles to have the same length of base and height and a different hypotenuse? If not so, then why in the congruence criteria RHS the hypotenuse is given more importance? It can also be like- 'two triangles are congruent if they are right angled and have the same base and height.' Thank You.

The angles in a right triangle 2007-03-28
Golaan pose la question :
I need the to understand the formula for finding either of the acute angles of a right triangle given it's hieght length and base length. I want to find the degrees of either accute angle. So for this example I have a right triangle with a height of 410 meters and a base length of 1,700 meters. I don't understand cosine, sine, and tangent or the other ones at all. So if the solution includes those (which I believe it does) could b very verbose yet in a very elementary way?

The purpose of ths is that I have to define the general incline angles (or grade) of various areas of terrain. I know the distance by map and also the the altitude at either endpoint.

Pythagorean Triples. 1997-12-04
Shameq Sayeed pose la question :
I've got a couple of problems which I hope you'll be able to solve for me.

I'm investigating pythagorean triples, and I have found a trend for the triples themselves, and thus have been able to form a general equation, i.e. a=2x+1, b=2x^2+2x, and c=b+1. Now, I sure this equation works, because I've tried it out and have come up with triples that adhere to a^2 + b^2 = c^2. But I was wondering WHY c=b+1. Is it possible to have c=b+2, and if not why not? THAT is the first problem.
