उत्तर
The longest side of a right angled triangle is called its hypotenuse.
Explanation:
In a right-angled triangle, one of the angles is exactly 90 degrees. The side opposite to this right angle is always the longest side of the triangle and is called the hypotenuse.
According to the Pythagorean Theorem, for a right-angled triangle with sides a, b, and hypotenuse c.
This relation only holds true because the hypotenuse is the side across from the right angle.
