How does the length of the hypotenuse ina right triangle relate to the lengths of the legs?
A. It is the shortest side
B. It is twice the shortest side
C. It is half the shortest side
D. It is the longest side

Respuesta :

The correct answer is, "D". 'It is the longest side.' 

In the hypotenuse theorem,

a^2+b^2= c^2

c^2 is the hypotenuse, therefore the addition of a^2 and b^2 make c^2 the longest side!


I hope this helps!
