A right triangle is such that have one of its angles to be 90 degrees.
The relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse are:
- The hypotenuse is the longer than the other two sides.
- The hypotenuse is the square root of the sum of the squares of the other legs
A right triangle has three sides, namely
- Opposite
- Adjacent
- Hypotenuse
Of these three sides, the hypotenuse is the longest.
When any of the two sides are known, the third side is calculated using Pythagoras theorem as follows:
[tex]\mathbf{Hypotenuse = \sqrt{Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2}}[/tex]
The above equation means that:
The hypotenuse is the square root of the sum of the squares of the other legs
