Question

The ___________________ of a right triangle are the two sides that make up the right angle.

Answer 1

a and b are the "legs" of the triangle, which are the two sides that make up the 90 degree angle. c is the "hypotenuse" of the triangle, and is the side of the triangle that is opposite the right angle (another way to say a 90º angle is "right angle"). The hypotenuse is also the longest side of the right triangle.
