To find the hypotenuse you need to know the pythagorean theorem where a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Here a and b are the sides of the triangle that make the right angle and c is the hypotenuse. If you plug it in to that equation you should have your answer.
The hypotenuse is always the longest side and across from the right angle. So which letter does that match up with?
OOOOO OKAY so R is the longest side making R the hypotenuse
Good job!
Thank you... I was under the intention that I had to find something from it being a 90 degree angle lol. It has been awhile since I took geometry. Not too long but still a great refresher. :D
