Hello!

Explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle that consists one right angle. The sides that make up the right angle are the legs, and the side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side of a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem


a^2+b^2=c^2

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
