RIGHT TRIANGLE.
A right triangle is a triangle containing a right angle.
The hypotemise is the side opposite the right angle. It is the longest side. The other two sides forming the right angle are called the base and perpendicular,
Draw a right triangle with the base 3 in. and perpendicular 4 in. The hypotenuse will be 5 in.
On each side of the triangle, draw a square, and divide each square into square inches. How does the number of units in the square of the hypotenuse compare with the number of units in the sum of the squares of the other two sides?
Learn—In any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
