On my last post I was doing question number 4. Now I am working on question number 3. Question number 3 states:If you know the side lengths of a right triangle, can you predict what the angles will be? I will answer this by looking at the websites she has provided us. I found one thing in my short time investigating though. I found that the numbers 3,4,5, all make a right triangle. This means that any multiple of these will also end up being a right triangle. This is good to know because I can now predict the angles with all of these factors. If it is 9,16,15 the angles will be 90 degrees and two angles with 45 degrees.
This leads me to know the angles of any triangle that can be divided by 3,4,5. So I know now that most angles even if the sides are huge are equal to a right triangle. This will help me get farther into this because it shortened my range by a lot. So now I can more accurately predict what the angles combined with the side are.

I don't believe that a 3-4-5 triangle had angles 45-45-90. You might want to recheck your data and see what happens. Once you do this, I am curious to see if you can make some more specific predictions about angles. What are your own original questions about right triangles?
