Question

Side c is called _____________.

  1. Hypotenuse
  2. Leg
  3. Long leg
  4. Short leg

hintHint:

We are given a right-angled triangle BCA. We are given the values of sides of the triangle. The length of side AB is given using a variable "c". We are asked the term for that side.

The correct answer is: Hypotenuse


    The given triangle is a right-angled triangle.
    The side that is opposite to the 90° and is the longest side of the right-angled triangle is hypotenuse.
    Comparing this information with the figure, we can say that the side c is called as hypotenuse.

    For such questions, we should know the properties of right-angled triangle.
