Question

in the formula $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$, the letter $c$ represents the.
the two shorter sides of a right triangle are called the.
to find the hypotenuse, first square the lengths of both.
the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the.
to solve for a leg, subtract the square of the known leg from the square of the.

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ is for right - triangles, where $a$ and $b$ are legs and $c$ is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the longest side opposite the right angle. To find it, square the legs and sum them. To find a leg, subtract the square of the known leg from the square of the hypotenuse.

Answer:

1. Hypotenuse
2. Legs
3. Legs
4. Hypotenuse
5. Hypotenuse
