My Last Post

The question that I have been investigating since my last blog is still, do all triangle angle combinations (like 30-60-90 or 20-70-90) all have the same side lengths if you change the length of the hypotenuse? I have found this data since my last post.

Angles 40-50-90:
Line AC21222324242627282930
Line BC16161718191920212222
Line AB13141415161617171819

Angles 20-70-90
Line AC21222324252627282930
Line BC77788899910
Line AB19202122232425262728

I have also gotten the data in my last post. The conclusion that I came up with is that no matter what the angles are, the side lengths will usually be different. This is because in my previous post, Line BC and Line AB were different even though the hypotenuse was the same. The only similarity was the hypotenuse. So basically, angles make up pretty much all of your sides. If the angle is bigger, the side lengths get bigger too. The next question that I will be investigating is, are there any angle combinations (like 20-70-90) that have the same side lengths? (minus the hypotenuse). Also, another question I want to investigate is, If you give two given sides, what happens to the angles?
