The Right Triangle
A right triangle is a triangle
that contains one right
angle.
A right angle is 90o
Right Angle

Pythagorean Triple
All of the side lengths of the triangles we have looked at form Pythagorean Triples.
If the side lengths of a right triangle are all whole numbers, they are called Pythagorean Triples.
