The longest side of a triangle is called the Hypotenuse.
The longest side of a triangle is opposite to its largest angle
obtuse triangle
In a right triangle (a triangle where one of the angles is exactly 90 degrees) , the longest side is called the hypotenuse. In non-right triangles, the longest side has no special name.
An obtuse triangle has an obtuse angle.
No, this statement is not correct. The side opposite the largest angle is the longest side of a triangle only if the triangle is obtuse. In acute triangles, the side opposite the largest angle is the longest side, and in right triangles, the side opposite the right angle (90 degrees) is the longest side.
In a right triangle, a2 + b2 = c2, where c is the longest side. If the square of the longest side is more than the sum of the other two squares, the triangle has an obtuse angle. If it is less, all angles are acute.
It is a characteristic of any triangle that the longest side is opposite the largest angle and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.
The circumcentre is outside the triangle - next to the longest line.
The longest side of a triangle is called the Hypotenuse.
Yes, indeed. Imagine a scalene triangle sitting on its longest side. If you could push the pointy part on top down, it would eventually become an obtuse triangle.
No, it isn't. The term Hypotenuse is associated with right triangles. It is the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle.
Calculate the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If this is less than the square of the remaining, third, side then the triangle is obtuse.There are three possibilities - let the three sides of the triangle be A, B and C with C the longest side (that is C ≥ A and C ≥ B). Then, if:A2 + B2 > C2 the triangle is acuteA2 + B2 = C2 the triangle is right angledA2 + B2 < C2 the triangle is obtuse
The longest side of a right angle triangle is called the hypotenuse.
The longest side of a triangle is opposite to its largest angle
The longest side a right angle triangle is its hypotenuse
They can only intersect at the circumcentre, which is a point outside the triangle, beyond the side opposite the obtuse angle.
