Although they are altitudes, they are normally called the legs.
When the triangle is right, the orthocenter is the polygon vertex of the right angle. Intuitively this makes sense because the orthocenter is where the altitudes intersect. Hence, in a right triangle, the vertex of the right angle is where you would expect the altitudes to meet, at 90 degrees, where the legs of the right triangle are perpendicular.
The hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and the legs are the two legs coming out from where the right angle is.
In a right triangle, the legs are the two sides that meet to form the right angle. Only right triangles have legs.
They are the "legs" of the triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 5 and 12 units is: 13The length of a hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs with lengths of 5 and 12 is: 13
The 2 sides perpendicular to its right angle
yes!

The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 8 and 10 is: 12.81
Find the perimeter of a right triangle with legs measuring 3 and 4
Those are the triangle's "legs".
