Sum of angles in a triangle=180. Let the angles be x. So, x+2x+x=180 4x=180 x=180/4=45 Therefore, x=45 2x=45*2=90 and x=45 By the second angle it is proved that it is a right angled triangle.

Let one side =x According to ratio 1:1×√2:1 x:x√2:x x=AB x√2=BC x=AC BC^2=AB^2+AC^2 (x√2)^2=(x)^2+(x)^2 x^2×2=x^2+x^2 2x^2=2x^2 BC^2 is equal to AC^2+AB^2 hence given ratio is of right angled triangle.

Let the angles be x. So,
x+2x+x=180
4x=180
x=180/4=45
Therefore, x=45
2x=45*2=90 and
x=45
By the second angle it is proved that it is a right angled triangle.
According to ratio
1:1×√2:1
x:x√2:x
x=AB
x√2=BC
x=AC
BC^2=AB^2+AC^2
(x√2)^2=(x)^2+(x)^2
x^2×2=x^2+x^2
2x^2=2x^2
BC^2 is equal to AC^2+AB^2
hence given ratio is of right angled triangle.
