Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently composed from 'right' (an angle of 90°) + 'triangle' (a three-sided polygon), so the meaning 'a triangle with a 90° angle' is directly derivable from the constituents. This adjective+noun composition is a standard, cross-linguistic mathematical term, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Right triangle gets its name from the special corner called the right angle, a corner that is exactly square, like the corner of a room. So a right triangle is a triangle with one 'right' or 90-degree angle.
