Where is the hypotenuse to the right triangle?
the side directly across from the right angle (the only slanted line)
Which term describes a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite side so that the segment is perpendicular to that line?
The description given fits that of a right angle triangle
What is the definition of leg on a right triangle?
the two vertical and horizontal "legs" of a triangle. the other diagonal line is the hypotenuse.
What is the diagonal line on a triangle called?
hypotenuse
What are the three names of the three line segments of a triangle?
If it's a right angle triangle then the sides are: opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse which is the longest side
What relationship does the hypotenuse have with the circle?
The hypotenuse has no intrinsic relationship to the circle. The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle that is opposite to the right angle. You can draw a circle that has a hypotenuse as its diameter or its radius, but you can do that with any line segment. It would not be related in another way to the triangle.
Prove that the the line segment joining the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the vertex of the right angle is equal to half the hypotenuse?
Simply by measuring it. Or by drawing a circle with a radius of half the hypotenuse and having the vertex of the right angle as its centre and if the midpoint of the hypotenuse just touches the circle then this proves it.
The distance from a point C to the line AB is the length of the segment from C to AB?
That is correct. The distance from a point C to a line AB is the length of the perpendicular segment drawn from point C to line AB. This forms a right angle, creating a right triangle with the segment as the hypotenuse. The length of this perpendicular segment is the shortest distance from the point to the line.
What is the line connected two legs of a right triangle called?
It's called the "hypotenuse" of the right triangle.
What are the parts of right triangle?
Line segment
A segment from a vertex that forms a right angle with a line containing the base?
hypotenuse
What does a hypotenuse look like?
It looks like a straight line segment being used as one side of a triangle.The hypotenuse is the longest side of the righttriangle.A right triangle has one right angle (90°) and two acute (less than 90°) angles.
How many diagonals does a right angle triangle have?
The only diagonal line in a right-angle triangle is the hypotenuse. So the answer is 1.
What is the slanted line on a triangle called?
Assume you mean the The hypotenuse, which is the line that is not connected by a right angle.
What name is given to the line opposite the right angle in any right angle triangle?
The Hypotenuse.
Where is the hypotenuse to the right triangle?
the side directly across from the right angle (the only slanted line)
Can you show how a right triangle has one line of symmetry?
the only way for a right triangle to have a line of symmetry, is if the legs of the triangle are congruent. Or you can show that both non-right angles are congruent (45 degrees). you may also prove that the altitude of the triangle bisects the hypotenuse or that it equals 1/2 of the hypotenuse.
