Longest side of a triangle is called?
In a right triangle (a triangle where one of the angles is exactly 90 degrees) , the longest side is called the hypotenuse. In non-right triangles, the longest side has no special name.
What is the longest side of a triangles opposite called?
Hypotenuse
The side of a triangle is always opposite the angle with the largest measure?
No, this statement is not correct. The side opposite the largest angle is the longest side of a triangle only if the triangle is obtuse. In acute triangles, the side opposite the largest angle is the longest side, and in right triangles, the side opposite the right angle (90 degrees) is the longest side.
Is the term hypotenuse associated with obtuse triangles?
No, it isn't. The term Hypotenuse is associated with right triangles. It is the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle.
What is the longest side of a triange called?
If the triangle has a right-angle in it, then the longest side is called the hypotenuse. Otherwise it is just called the longest side.
What is the longest side of a right triangle?
The longest side of a right angle triangle is called the hypotenuse.
What triangle longest side is called hypotenuse?
The longest side is the hypotenuse and the other 2 are called the legs.
What is the longest side of a right angle triangle called?
The longest side of a right-angled triangle is always opposite the right-angle and is called the hypotenuse.
What is the name for the longest side in a right angled triangle?
The longest side in a right angled triangle is called a hypotenuse.
What relationship between the right triangles side?
The sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shortest sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
What is the theory of the sum of square of the two shorter sides is equal the square of the longest hypotenuse side?
This pertains to right angled triangles and is called the pythagoras theorem or theory
Where is the longest side of the right triangle located?
the longest side of a right angle is called the hypotenuse. In trigonometry it is the side that is opposite the adjacent. -----------|\ -----------| \ Adjacent-| -\ hypotenuse (longest side) -----------|- \ -----------|__ \ ---------opposite
