not just because it has a right angle, there is a reason...

Often in mathematics you answer questions by a method called elimination. Since a right triangle is not a left triangle, then it must be...................

Because, if you flip it over it is a Left Triangle.
The words are used basically to give people understanding of what another is saying. If, someone says; "Draw a right triangle" everyone draws the same thing and not a left triangle.
In Electricity the "Theory" is Negative flows to Positive. IT could flow positive to negative, but, so people have some sense of agreement we all say Negative flows to Positive.
Hope you see what I try to say. It just has more to do with Communicating an Agreeable Understanding.

It's because it has 1 right angle. That IS the reason.

first off, if a right triangle had 90 degree angles it would be a square - going clockwise a line forming a triangle would only make right turns (he he)

Yes the only reason is because it contains a right angle (90 degrees), very important for trigonometry.

The reason is exactly because it has a right angle.

because it has a right angle= 90 degrees angle

because its side has the right angle... Right angle is 90degrees...Measures the 3 sides of right angle. Each side has 90 degrees angle. Review your geometry.
