Question

which segment is the hypotenuse?
(image of a right triangle with right angle at p, vertices p, n, v. answer options: \\(\overline{pv}\\), \\(\overline{np}\\), \\(\overline{nv}\\))

Explanation:

In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, and it is the longest side of the triangle. The right angle here is at vertex P, so the side opposite it is $\overline{NV}$.

Answer:

$\overline{NV}$
