Leg or Hypotenuse??

Front

Which side is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is a leg in a right triangle?

Back

A leg is one of the two shorter sides of a right triangle that form the right angle.

Front

In a right triangle, if side WX is the hypotenuse, what can you say about its length compared to sides XY and WY?

Back

Side WX is longer than both sides XY and WY.

Front

If a triangle has sides labeled as x, y, and z, and z is opposite the right angle, what is z?

Back

Side z is the hypotenuse.

Front

If side x is labeled as a leg in a right triangle, what does that imply about its position?

Back

It means side x is one of the two sides that form the right angle.

Front

In a right triangle, how can you identify the hypotenuse?

Back

The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and is the longest side.

Front

If a triangle has sides of lengths 3, 4, and 5, which side is the hypotenuse?

Back

The side with length 5 is the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse (Pythagorean theorem).

Front

If side x is not opposite the right angle, what can you conclude about it?

Back

Side x is a leg of the triangle.

Front

In a right triangle, if one leg is 6 and the hypotenuse is 10, what is the length of the other leg?

Back

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the other leg is 8.
