The right angle is formed by the intersection of the triangle's "legs".
Those are the triangle's "legs".
The hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and the legs are the two legs coming out from where the right angle is.
The legs.
Pythagorean Theorema2+b2=c2a and b are the legs of the triangle while c is the hypotenuse.To find the hypotenuse, find the largest angle. The hypotenuse is the leg that's directly in front of it. An easy way to remember is that the vertex to the largest angle cannot touch the hypotenuse. You would have to square both measurements of the legs and add them, then take the square root of that.To find both legs of the triangle, you simply find the biggest angle. The vertex of that angle touched both the legs of the triangle.
