The legs of a right triangle

• are the longest two sides.

• are the ones the triangle stands on.

• are opposite (across from) the right angle.

• are adjacent to (make) the right angle.

The hypotenuse in a right triangle is

• adjacent to (makes) the right angle.

• any one of the three sides, you decide!

• opposite (across from) the right angle.
