Perpendicular means meeting at a right angle.

A right triangle has 2 sides that are perpendicular, so it has 1 pair of sides that are perpendicular

They are known as the "legs" of the right triangle.

Perpendicular means "at right angles". Therefore, a right triangle has two lines meeting, so forming one perpendicular angle.
