A right triangle, with its defining 90-degree angle and hypotenuse, is foundational to trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem. Critical in construction (e.g., roof slopes, staircases), navigation, and physics, it enables calculations for diagonal distances, vectors, and 3D coordinates. Its applications span from ancient pyramids to modern GPS technology. The area formula is: Area = ½ × base × height. |
