What letter represents the hypotenuse?

• a

• b

• a and b

• c

Hypotenuse

• Vertical side in a right triangle

• Longest side in a right triangle

• Horizontal side in a right triangle

• a² + b² = c²

Which choice represents the legs?

• a and b

• a

• b

• c

What is the final step in solving this work for c?
a² + b² = c²
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²

• Divide both sides by 2
• Take the square root of both sides

Side c on a right triangle is ALWAYS the longest.

• true

• false

What is the opposite of squaring a number?

• divide
• multiply 
• fractions
• square root

_{^{Find the missing side}}

Solve for the value of y

• 13

• 5

• 23

• 10

Find the missing side lengths.

• a = 4, b = 4
• a = 4, b = 2√2
• a = 2√2,  b = 4
• a = 4, b = 4
