Which side of a right triangle has the longest length?

• Leg 1

• Leg 2

• Hypotenuse

What is always true about the hypotenuse?

• Is the shortest side of the triangle.

• Is the height of the triangle.

• Is labeled as b.

• Is the longest side of the triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem ONLY works on which triangle? 

• obtuse

• scalene

• isosceles

• right

• 4, 3, 5

• 4, 3, 7

• 8, 5, 6

If the side lengths of a right triangle are 7, 25, and 24, which side is the hypotenuse?

• 7

• 25

• 24

• none of the these

a=3, b=4, and c=5

Is this a right triangle?

• yes

• no

Which side lengths would form a right triangle?

• 3, 5, 6

• 2, 8, 10

• 3, 4, 5

• 7, 12, 15
