+# Right triangles!
+
+I decided to try and make a function that builds regular right triangles. Everone's familiar with the grade-school idea of the pythagorean theorem, with a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
+So I wrote a function that takes three inputs... a width, a height and a direction. The width and height make up the right angle of the triangle, and the function creates the hypotenuse.
+The direction input decides which direction it draws in, or which side the right angle will face.
+
+Instead of making this only work with standard triangles (45/45/90 or 30/60/90), I brushed up on geometry and trig a little to make it work for any two lengths. The function requires some math importing to get this to work.
+
+At the end of each triangle, the turtle gets reset to the home position.
+
+There're other things that could be added to this for fun... right now it only draws right and left, making it able to flip up or down would be cool. Or add a fill component so it fills a color too. Lots of fun to be had!
+#Function
+
+```
+import turtle
+
+from math import sqrt, asin, pi
+
+def right_triangle(height,width,direction):
+# takes direction to mean which side of the triangle will have the hypoteneuse
+
+
+#	using pythagorean theorem: hyp is the sqrt of height^2 + width^2
+	hypotenuse=sqrt((height**2)+(width**2))
+	
+#	using radians for sin functions
+	turtle.radians()
+
+	if direction == 'right':
+		turtle.forward(width)
+		#90 degrees in radians
+		turtle.setheading(1.57079633)
+		turtle.forward(height)
+		#pi is 180 degrees in radians, arcsin of side over hypotenuse equals angle
+		turtle.setheading(pi+asin(height/hypotenuse))
+		turtle.forward(hypotenuse)
+		turtle.home()
+
+	if direction =='left':
+		turtle.setheading(pi)
+		turtle.forward(width)
+		#90 degrees in radians
+		turtle.setheading(1.57079633)
+		turtle.forward(height)
+		#arcsin of side over hypotenuse equals angle, subtracted
+		turtle.setheading(-asin(height/hypotenuse))
+		turtle.forward(hypotenuse)
+		turtle.home()
+```

+Greetings programmers-to-be,
+
+I’ve attached my screenshots for today’s in-class assignment.   Today was a bit of a struggle for me.  I don’t think it helps that I have a nasty head cold that is also not allowing me to process information as well.  Additionally, I get overwhelmed when it seems like others are picking this up way faster than I am.  However, today I appreciated our discussion about breaking things into smaller pieces and taking it step-by-step.  And I think step-by-step is also how I will slowly but surely will start to understand things.  I need to do things several times before they click – so that means writing the same pieces of code and doing the same exercises over and over again. 
+
+Anyway, enough babbling on my part… here are my screenshots:
