Can the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle ever be equal to or less than either of the legs?
No. By definition, the hypotenuse leg of a right triangle must be the longest side and also must be the side opposite the right angle.
How can you identify the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
A right triangle, by definition, has a right (or 90o) angle. The side that is opposite that right angle is the hypotenuse. That is to say, the other two sides, which are not the hypotenuse, are the two sides which meet at a right angle.
What is the definition for leg of a triangle?
There is no formal definition: it is any side of a triangle. Often, if the triangle has a horizontal base, then it is one of the sloped sides. In a right angled triangle, it is one of sides adjacent to the right angle. In an isosceles triangle, it is one of the equal sides.
Does a salene have a right angle?
