Front

If 'c' is the hypotenuse, what are the legs in a right triangle?

Back

The legs are 'a' and 'b', which are the sides adjacent to the right angle.

How do you identify the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and is the longest side.

Front

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

Back

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