About Right Triangles

A right triangle is a triangle with one angle equal to 90°. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (c), and the other two sides are called legs (a and b).

Key Properties:

  • • c² = a² + b² (Pythagorean theorem)
  • • α + β = 90°
  • • Area = (a × b) / 2
  • • Height to hypotenuse = (a × b) / c
  • • Inradius = Area / Semi-perimeter
  • • Circumradius = c / 2

Angle Input Support:

  • • Degrees: 30, 45, 60, etc.
  • • Radians: pi/6, pi/4, pi/3, etc.
  • • Pi expressions: pi, 2*pi, etc.
  • • Decimal values: 0.785, 1.047, etc.
