TriangleBroader topic: The right angle enables the Pythagorean theorem and familiar trigonometric ratios.
SineRelated: In an acute angle’s right triangle, sine is opposite side divided by hypotenuse.
Trigonometric functionsRelated: Ratios of its sides give the basic right-triangle definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent.
CircumcircleBroader topic: Its circumcenter is the midpoint of its hypotenuse.
TrigonometryBroader topic: Its side ratios define the basic trigonometric functions.
CircumcenterBroader topic: Its circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
OrthocenterRelated: Its orthocenter is the vertex at the right angle, where two altitudes coincide with the legs.
Thales' theoremBroader topic: The diameter and any point on the semicircle form a right triangle.
Small-angle approximationNarrower topic: The opposite-to-adjacent ratio in the gloss is defined using a right triangle.
Euler lineBroader topic: Its orthocenter is the right-angle vertex, making the Euler line easy to locate.
Inverse trigonometric functionsRelated: Inverse ratios recover acute angles from side lengths in right-triangle problems.
Pythagorean tripleNarrower topic: Each triple gives the three side lengths of a right triangle.
Right angleBroader topic: The right angle defines this triangle’s distinctive shape and its trigonometric relations.
Distance formulaRelated: The coordinate differences form its legs, and the point-to-point distance is its hypotenuse.
Euler's inequalityBroader topic: Its circumradius is half its hypotenuse, offering a direct test of the bound.
Triangle centersRelated: Its circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse, while its orthocenter is the right-angle vertex.
Scalene triangleRelated: A right triangle can also be scalene; the labels describe different properties.
Sine and cosineRelated: For acute angles, sine and cosine are ratios of side lengths in a right triangle.
Pythagorean trigonometric identityRelated: Its side ratios define sine and cosine, while the Pythagorean theorem links those ratios.
Feuerbach's theoremBroader topic: Its orthocenter is a vertex, simplifying the nine-point-circle construction.
Fagnano's problemCompared with: The orthic triangle degenerates because one altitude foot is the right-angle vertex.
Geometric mean theoremNarrower topic: The theorem applies to this triangle and its altitude to the hypotenuse.
Conway circle theoremBroader topic: Its side lengths provide a simple setting for calculating the incircle and excircles explicitly.
Droz-Farny line theoremBroader topic: Its orthocenter is the right-angle vertex, a useful degenerate-looking special case.
Equal Incircles TheoremBroader topic: Its inradius has a direct expression in terms of its side lengths.
Law of cotangentsBroader topic: Its right angle has cotangent zero, simplifying the identity to a product of the other two cotangents equal to one.
