Real-World Examples of Right Triangles By: Amy Oliver, Ronnie Ellis, and Conor Nichols
Trains • The front area of a train has right triangles.
Eiffel Tower • There are right triangles running up the side of the building.
Buildings • Some buildings have right triangles on the outside, or inside, of them.
Bridges • There are right triangles on the side to help hold it up.
Pie Graphs • Some of the shapes representing percentages may be right triangles.
Wheels • Right triangles are found on the rims, and in the design of the tires.
Pyramids • The face of some pyramids are right triangles.
Wagon Handles • The shape of some wagon handles are right triangles.
Protractors • They are found when you measure the angles with lines.
Radio Towers • The side of radio towers are shaped like right triangles.
