Front

What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.

Front

In a right triangle, if side a = 5 and side b = 12, what is the length of side c?

Back

Front

What type of triangle does the Pythagorean Theorem apply to?

Back

The Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles.

Front

If a right triangle has sides of lengths 8, 15, and 17, which side is the hypotenuse?

Back

The hypotenuse is 17, as it is the longest side.

Front

True or False: The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle.

Back

True.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the longest side (hypotenuse).
