Pythagorean Theorem.
I agree with whomever entered the answer, above: "Pythagorean Theorem."
If it might be helpful to someone out there, may I offer a bit of explanation of the process for finding line C, or "Hypotenuse"?
To find the length of the longest side of a right triangle (or side C), one must square the other two sides, A and B. This is performed as, C2- = A2 + B2
The problem with that answer, so far, is that both a and b were squared, so the answer, thus far, is the result of C2. However, one needs to find what C equals (NOT what C2 equals.)
Therefore, to finally determine the length of C (not C2) one must now find the square root of whatever C2 equaled in the formula, above. Once you calculate the square root of C2 then you now have the length of line C.

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
No, because the biggest length (hypotenuse) has to be equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides, which it is not
Yes, this is known as the Pythagorean theorem. It states that a2 + b2 = c2 where a and b are the lengths of the two sides on either side of the right angle and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
The longest side can have a length of 6, 8, or 10 units. It cannot have an odd length. If the third side has to be the longest, the two shorter sides can only have integer lengths of 1 and 2 2 and 3 3 and 4
They are straight lines. The sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the length of the longest side. But subject to that constraint, the sides can have any lengths.They are straight lines.

A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.
It would be an obtuse triangle with one angle being greater than 90 degrees.
There's an infinite list of 3-number sets that can be the lengths of the sides of aright triangle. The only fact that's true of all of them is:(square of the length of the longest side) = (sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.)
Yes
Correct.
Pythagorean Theorem
false
No because the sum of the smaller lengths must be greater than the longest length

It is Pythagoras' theorem
