Question

which statements are true about triangle qrs? choose three correct answers. the hypotenuse is qr. the side adjacent to ∠r is sq. the side adjacent to ∠q is qs. the side opposite ∠q is rs

Explanation:

1. In a right - triangle, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right - angle. In right - triangle QRS with right - angle at S, the hypotenuse is QR.
2. The side adjacent to an angle in a right - triangle is the non - hypotenuse side that forms the angle. The side adjacent to ∠R is RS, not SQ. The side adjacent to ∠Q is QS.
3. The side opposite an angle in a right - triangle is the non - hypotenuse side that does not form the angle. The side opposite ∠Q is RS.

Answer:

1. The hypotenuse is QR.
2. The side adjacent to ∠Q is QS.
3. The side opposite ∠Q is RS.
