Front

What type of angle do the legs of a right triangle form?

Back

The legs of a right triangle form a right angle (90 degrees).

What is the length of the missing side if one leg is 9 and the hypotenuse is 15?

Back

The missing side is 12, calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem: @@c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ightarrow 15^2 = 9^2 + b^2 ightarrow b = 12@@.
