The "base" of any triangle is whatever side it happens to be sitting on in the

drawing in which it's presented, and that could be any one of its three sides.

In a right triangle, the longest side is the "hypotenuse", which is the side opposite

the right angle. That's true whether or not the triangle happens to be drawn with

the hypotenuse on the bottom.

What is the classification of the triangle?

A triangle can be classified according to its sides or the magnitude of its largest angle (two of the angles MUST be acute angles). All three sides equal: equilateral. Such a triangle must be equiangular, but that term is rarely used. Two equal angles, third one different (or two sides equal and third different): isosceles. All three angles different (all three sides different): scalene. Largest angle = 90 degrees: A right angled triangle. Largest angle obtuse: An obtuse angled triangle.
