Question

The side opposite to the right angle in the triangle is called

Answer 1

Hint: Draw the triangle and mark the right angle in it and then observe the side opposite to right angle means the side rather than adjacent sides of the angle forming the right angle.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Hence as per given in the question we are talking about side AC.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is always the side opposite the right angle. It is the longest side in a right triangle.
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side AC in the figure). The sides adjacent to the right angle are called legs. Side a may be identified as the side adjacent to angle B and opposed to (or opposite) angle A, while side b is the side adjacent to angle A and opposed to angle B.
If the lengths of all three sides of a right triangle are integers, the triangle is said to be a Pythagorean triangle and its side lengths are collectively known as a Pythagorean triples.

Note: A right triangle or right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90-degree angle). The relation between the sides and angles of a right triangle is the basis for trigonometry.
