Identify the hypotenuse in a right triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5.

Back

The hypotenuse is 5.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²).

What do we call the side opposite the right angle?

Back

The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.

Front

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

Back

The hypotenuse is 10, calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: √(6² + 8²) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10.
