1. The ___ of a right triangle are the two sides of the triangle that form the right angle.

• Legs of a right triangle 

• Hypotenuse

• angles

• none of these

1. The _______ of a right triangle is the side of the triangle that is opposite the right angle.

• GCF

• Angle

• Hypotenuse

• all of the above

1. A ____________ is an angle whose measure is 90°. A ________ is usually indicated by a small square at the vertex of the angle.

• hypotenuse

• leg

• straight line

• right angle

1.    The __________ states that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle (a and b) is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse  $a^2\ +\ b^2\ =\ c^2$  

• Pythagorean Theorem

• inverse operation

• reciprocal

• related fractions

1. is a statement formed by interchanging what is given in a theorem and what is to be proved. For example, the Pythagorean Theorem states that if you have a right triangle, then $a^2+b^2=c^2$ . The _____________ states that if  $a^2+b^2=c^2$  then the triangle is a right triangle, switching what is known and what is proven. 

• Pythagorean theorem

• legs of a triangle

• Converse of a theorem

• equations

1. The distance between two points is the length of a straight line segment that links them. The _________ of a point from a line is the length of the shortest line segment from the point to the line. This will also be perpendicular to the line.

• angle

• distance

• absolute value

• inverse operation
