Pythagorean Theorem Find the Missing Hypotenuse

Which side of a right triangle is the longest?

• leg a

• leg b

• the hypotenuse (c)

• It depends. It's different in every triangle.

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.

• the slanty side.

• 89 miles
