If you add the interior angles of a triangle, what is the total of degrees that you get?

• 180°

• 360°

• 90°

What do you call the longest side of a right triangle?

• Leg

• Hypotenuse

• Opposite side

• Adjacent side

Answer explanation

The longest side of a right triangle is the hypotenuse.

What do you call the right-angle sides of a right triangle?

• Legs

• Hypotenuse

• Opposite side

• Adjacent side

Answer explanation

The legs of a right triangle are the two sides that intersect to determine the right angle.

What does the Pythagorean Theorem states?

• If the lengths of the legs are a and b, and the length of the hypotenuse is c, then, c² = a² + b²

• If the lengths of the legs are a and b, and the length of the hypotenuse is c, then, a² = b² + c²

• If the lengths of the legs are a and b, and the length of the hypotenuse is c, then, c² = a² - b²

• Other

Answer explanation

If the lengths of the legs are a and b, and the length of the hypotenuse is c, then, c² = a² + b²
