Today I was researching are their any other angle combination's that show similar patters such as 30-60-90, 45-45-90?
Not only are angles important, but so are side combination's. An example of these side combination's are 3 - 4 - 5 right triangles. This is important because all of the sides are whole numbers. Also, the multiples of these numbers form right triangles with the same angles.
3^2 + 4^2=5^2 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
9 + 16 = 25 36 + 64 = 100
25 = 25 100 = 100
5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169
To follow through with my investigation, I will next investigate If you know the side lengths of a right triangle, can you predict what the angles will be?
