In a right triangle, what is the side opposite the right angle called?

• Base

• Hypotenuse

• Opposite

• Adjacent

What is the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem?

• a^2 = b^2 + c^2

• a + b = c

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

• a^2 + b^2 = c

If one side of a right triangle is 6 and the other is 8, what is the hypotenuse?

• 14

• 16

• 12

• 10

What is the formula for the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

• d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

• d = (x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)

• d = (x2 + x1)^2 + (y2 + y1)^2

• d = √((x2 + x1)^2 + (y2 + y1)^2)
