can a right triangle be divided into 2 right triangles?

Answer 1

Sure, if you imagine a triangle with the right angle at the top where the hypotenuse is the base, you can draw a line from the 90degrees angle at the top which is perpendicular to the hypotenuse.
You´ll end up with two right angle triangles

Answer 2

Yes. If you imagine the right triangle so that the hypotenuse is on the bottom and the right angle is at the peak, you could draw a line between the right angle and the hypotenuse such that the line is perpendicular to the hypotenuse. This line would divide two new right triangles, with their right angles at the intersection of the line and the original hypotenuse.

Answer 3

Yes it certainly can. Start at the 90 point and extend a line 45 degrees until it touches the hypotenuse (the longest side). this will leave two right angled triangles.

Answer 4

i think so it can't
because the sum of all the angles of the triangle equals 180'
one angle of a right angle triangle should be 90' if it's a right angled triangle. if the right angle triangle is divided into 2 the sum 2 angles will be equal to 180'
what will be the other angle(it can't be 0')

Answer 5

Surely.
an altitude from any vertex i.e. perpendicular on opp. side from a vertex , can divide a right triangle into 2 rt. triangles.

Answer 6

yes

on the original triangle. draw a line from center of the hypotenuse to the adjacent center. There are now two triangles.

- - - - - - - - -s-

Answer 7

Yes. Draw a line from the right angle to the mid point of the opposite side.

Answer 8

Yes ,by the height corresponding to the hypotenuse

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

yes
