What is the name of the side of a right triangle opposite the 90 degree angle?
That's the triangle's "hypotenuse".
How did the rectangle get its name?
From its right angle. right angle --> rect angle.
What is the name of a triangle with an angle that is a right angle?
a right triangle
What is the other name of right angle?
The other name for a right angle is a 90-degree angle.
How can you use a right angle to decide to name another angle?
If the angle is larger than a right angle it is obtuse
What name is given to the line opposite the right angle in any right angle triangle?
The Hypotenuse.
What is the name for the sides of a right triangle that are adjacent to the right angle?
Opposite and adjacent sides.
What is the name of the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle called?
the opposite (i know kinda obvious)Improved Answer:-The hypotenuse
What name is given to the longest side of a right angle?
hypotenuse . and the hypotenuse is always c :)
What is the name for the longest side of a right angled triangle?
It is called the hypotenuse. The adjacent side is beneath it and the opposite side opposite it.
What is the Name of the opposite side of a right angle?
The Hypotenuse, which also happens to be the longest side, and can be found using the formula:a^2+b^2=c^2where a and b are the other two sides, and c is the hypotenuse.

What is the opposite side of the angle?
Name or actual angle?
How did the rectangle get its name?
From its right angle. right angle --> rect angle.
How do you find the length of the hypotenuse?
In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, opposite the right-angle. There are two ways of finding the length of the hypotenuse using mathematics: Pythagoras' theorem or trigonometry, but for both you need either two other lengths or an angle. For Pythagoras' theorem, you need the other two lengths. The theorem is a2+b2=c2, or the square root of the sum of two angles squared, where c=the hypotenuse. Let's say that one length is 4.8cm and the other 4cm. 4.82+42=6.22. So, the answer is 6.2cm. If you have one side and one angle, use trigonometry. You will need a calculator for this. Each side of the right-angled triangle has a name corresponding to the positioning of the angle given. The opposite is the side opposite the given angle, the adjacent is the side with the right-angle and the given angle on it, and the hypotenuse is the longest side or the side opposite the right-angle. There are three formulas in trigonometry: sin, cos and tan. Sin is the opposite/hypotenuse; cos is the adjacent/hypotenuse; and tan is the opposite/adjacent. As we are trying to find the hypotenuse, we already have either the opposite or the adjacent, and one angle. Let's say that our angle is 50o and we have the adjacent side, and that is 4cm. So, we have the adjacent and want to know the hypotenuse. The formula with both the adjacent and the hypotenuse in is cos. So, Cos(50o)=4/x where x=hypotenuse. We can single out the x by swapping it with the Cos(50o), so x=4/Cos(50o) -> x=6.22289530744164. This is the length of the hypotenuse, and is more accurate that Pythagoras' theorem.
What is another name for right angle DEF?
Right angle E. The vertex of any angle can also be used to name the angle.
