Formulas and description of right-angled triangles
In the case of a right angle, the cathets are the two sides at the right angle. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle. The height is measured from the right angle to the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse sections are the sections of the hypotenuse from the respective corner to the point where the line of height hits the hypotenuse.
Hypotenuse (c)
\(\displaystyle c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \)
Cathete (a)
\(\displaystyle a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2} \)
Cathete (b)
\(\displaystyle a=\sqrt{c^2-a^2} \)
Area (A)
\(\displaystyle A = \frac{ a · b}{2} \) \(\displaystyle A = \frac{ c · h}{2} \)
Perimeter (P)
\(\displaystyle P=a+b+c \)
Height (h)
\(\displaystyle h = \frac{ a · b}{c} \) \(\displaystyle h=\sqrt{ p · q} \)
Section (p)
\(\displaystyle p= \frac{a^2}{c} \)
Section (q)
\(\displaystyle q = \frac{b^2}{c} \)
Angle (α)
\(\displaystyle α = arcsin \left( \frac{a}{c} \right) \) \(\displaystyle α = arccos \left( \frac{b}{c} \right) \)
Angle (β)
\(\displaystyle β = arcsin \left( \frac{b}{c} \right) \) \(\displaystyle β = arccos \left( \frac{a}{c} \right) \)
