Hypotenuse

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

• a² + b² = c²

• a + b = c²

• a + b = c

• a² + b = c

In a right triangle, which side is the hypotenuse?

• The side opposite the acute angle

• The side opposite the right angle

• The side adjacent to the right angle

• The longest side

If the legs of a right triangle are 3 and 4 units long, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

• 6

• 8

• 7

• 5

A ladder is leaning against a wall forming a right triangle. If the ladder is 10 feet long and the base of the ladder is 6 feet away from the wall, what is the height of the ladder on the wall?

• 15 feet

• 8 feet

• 5 feet

• 12 feet

If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13 units long and one leg is 5 units long, what is the length of the other leg?

• 10

• 8

• 12

• 15

How do you calculate the longest side of a right-angled triangle?

• The longest side is found using the equation: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

• The longest side is equal to the product of the other two sides

• The longest side is the sum of the other two sides

• The longest side is the difference between the other two sides

In a right triangle, if the legs are 6 and 8 units long, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

• 10

• 16

• 14

• 12

A right triangle has legs of length 9 and 12 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

• 18

• 20

• 15

• 10

If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 17 units long and one leg is 8 units long, what is the length of the other leg?

• 15

• 20

• 10

• 12

What is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

• The hypotenuse is always shorter than the legs

• The hypotenuse is perpendicular to the legs

• The hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the legs

• The relationship is defined by the Pythagorean theorem.
