Describe all 6 parts, for example, side "a" is one of the legs of the right triangle and is opposite Angle A, which is an acute angle, and side a appears to be the shortest side.

Answer:

The description of the 6 parts of the right triangle ABC are as follows;

The legs of the right triangle are side "a" and side "b"

The hypotenuse side of the right triangle is side "c"

The acute angles are ∠A and ∠B

The 90° angle is ∠C

The description of the 6 parts are therefore given as follows;

1) A; ∠A is the acute angle opposite side "a" and ∠A is formed between the hypotenuse side "c" and the leg "b"

2) B; ∠B is the acute angle opposite side "b" and ∠B is formed between the hypotenuse side "c" and the leg "a"

3) C; ∠C is the 90° angle (right angle) opposite the hypotenuse side "c" and ∠C is formed between the the two legs "a" and "b"

4) a; Side "a" is one of the two legs of the right triangle ΔABC and it is the leg opposite to ∠A

5) b; Side "b" is one of the two legs of the right triangle ΔABC and it is the leg opposite to ∠B

6) c; Side "c" is the hypotenuse side of the right triangle ΔABC and it (the hypotenuse side) is (all the time) the longest side of the right triangle and it is the leg opposite to ∠A
