Using the Pythagorean formula, the hypotenuse is c and the sides a and b.
The sides are usually in lower case the angles in upper case. With a right angle triangle the hypotenuse would normally be referred to as "c" though some times it is h

What is the hypotenuse leg theorem?
If two right triangles have (hypotenuse and a leg of one) = (hypotenuse and the corresponding leg of the other) then the triangles are congruent.
What is the longest side of a triangles opposite called?
Hypotenuse
What is the hypotenuse of an equalateral triangle with 12 foot sides?
If you divide the equilateral triangle into two right angle triangles then the hypotenuse will be 12 feet.
A right triangle has leg lengths 5 and 12 the length of the triangles hypotenuse h is?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 13 units
Does obtuse triangles have perpendicular sides?
No but a right angle triangle has perpendicular sides and an hypotenuse.
In calculations involving right triangles the hypotenuse is usually represented by the lettert?
In Trigonometry, the Hypotenuse is represented by the letter "h".
How is hypotenuse represented in right triangles?
It is the largest side
What is the hypotenuse leg theorem?
If two right triangles have (hypotenuse and a leg of one) = (hypotenuse and the corresponding leg of the other) then the triangles are congruent.
What is the hypotenuse leg therom?
If two right triangles have the hypotenuse and leg of one equal respectively to the hypotenuse and leg of the other, then the triangles are congruent.
In calculation involving right triangles the hypotenuse is usually represesnted by the letter?
you can choose; usually h. in pythagoras's theorum, it is a c i.e. a2 + b2 = c2
Are some right triangles are also equilateral triangles?
No because all right triangles have 2 legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg so right triangles can't be equilateral triangles.
What is the hypotenuse angle theorem?
The hypotenuse angle theorem, also known as the HA theorem, states that 'if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.'
Is hypotenuse only for right triangles?
yes
Is the term hypotenuse associated with obtuse triangles?
No, it isn't. The term Hypotenuse is associated with right triangles. It is the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle.
What is the hl theorem?
The hypotenuse leg theorem states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg arecongruent triangles.
What is Hypotenuse Leg?
If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Which are congruence theorems for right triangles?
If the hypotenuse and a leg of two right triangles are the same measure, the triangles are congruent
