Question

label the parts of the right triangle.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall right triangle parts

A right triangle has a right angle (90°), two legs (the sides forming the right angle), and a hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle, longest side).

Step2: Identify positions

  • The right angle is marked with the square. The two sides adjacent to the right angle are legs. The side opposite the right angle (across from the right angle, slanting side) is the hypotenuse.
  • So, the top dropdown (above the slant side) should be "Hypotenuse", the left dropdown (next to the vertical leg) is "Leg", and the bottom dropdown (next to the horizontal leg) is "Leg" (or one leg, one leg, hypotenuse).

Answer:

  • Top dropdown: Hypotenuse
  • Left dropdown: Leg
  • Bottom dropdown: Leg

(Note: If the triangle is oriented with vertical and horizontal legs, the two legs are the perpendicular sides, hypotenuse is the hypotenuse. The labels depend on standard right - triangle terminology: legs are the two sides forming the right angle, hypotenuse is opposite the right angle.)
