Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

There are three sides in a triangle. The longest side in a right triangle is the hypotenuse. it is the single letter on one side of the Pythagorean Theorem. That's the only one you have to get it the right place.

The other two don't matter.

For example

You have a right triangle that has 3 leg measurements of 3 4 5

The pythagorean theorem is

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

5 is the longest side

It is the hypotenuse. It must be c. The ther two don't matter.

So  a = 4 and b = 3

Or a = 3 and b = 4
