One reason is that the longest side must be opposite the largest angle. Since the sum of the angles is 180 degrees, we know the other two angles together add up to 90. That is to say, we must have a right angle, 90 degrees, to have a hypotenuse, and the angle opposite the hypotenuse is the right angle.
The other two angles are smaller so the sides that are opposite from them are smaller too.

A 30- 60- 90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 8.6 What is the length of the longer of the two legs?
7.44 - 7.45
How do you find the hypotenuse and longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle?
If you have the shorter legs length, then for the hypotenuse, just multiply the shorter leg by 2. For the longer leg, multiply the shorter leg by the square root of 3.
What describes the relationship between the lengths of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
The square of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the legs and c being the hypotenuse
A 45-45-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 7 - what is the length of the legs?
The length of both of the other legs is: 4.95
When A 45-45-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 9 What is the length of one of its legs?
The other two legs are 6.364
