When working with right triangles your hypotenuse is always opposite the 90 degree angle. If you draw out your triangle you will see that RT is opposite the right angle so that is your hypotenuse. The other two sides are referred to as the legs. So, RS and ST are the legs.

Hey there!
In right triangle RST, if angle S is 90 degrees, then:
RS=leg
ST=leg
RT=hypotenuse
This can be proven by drawing a triangle RST, right-angled at S.
Hope it helps!

ok, i'm going to probably screw up someplace in right here, yet i'm going to objective to make a diagram. right here is going: | | | T | |s ------ i think of it is it. it quite is quite helpful to learn the respond. because of the fact

the hypotenuse is the long side that is not touching the right angle at either end
not sure if that is what you wanted to know as you haven't worded your question particularly well

the hypotenuse is side RT
legs are SR and ST
