The Pythagorean Theorem Part 1

The two shortest sides of a right triangle are called the ___________.

• arms.

• hypotenuses.

• legs.

• rays.

The longest side of a right triangle is...

• Leg 1

• Leg 2

• Perimeter

• Hypotenuse

”Real-world” word Pythagorean problems often have ladders leaning against trees, houses, or other structures. In these problems, the ladder represents the:

• 90⁰ angle

• Leg

• It depends on the situation.

• Hypotenuse.

Which side of the triangle is the hypotenuse?

• side a

• side b

• side c

The hypotenuse is always across from the right angle of a triangle.

• True

• False
