What is the definition of hypotenuse?
- The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle.
What is the formula to calculate the hypotenuse?
- The formula to calculate the hypotenuse in a right triangle is: c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2), where a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.
What is the Pythagorean theorem?

What are some properties of the hypotenuse?
- - The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle.
- - The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle.
- - It is the side that connects the two other sides of the triangle.
