Question

please help what is the hypotenuse of a right triangle? *

If you decide to use the Pythagorean Theorem, please tell me how the hypotenuse relates to the other two sides

Answer 1

It would be the longest leg of the right triangle

Answer 2

The hypotenuse is the longest side of such a triangle. The square of the length of the hypotenuse is the SUM of the squares of the other two sides, by the Pythagorean theorem.

Answer 3

And when using the pythagorean theorem...

\[\large a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

it states that the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum other 2 legs of the triangle squared

Answer 4

thank you
