Length of side opposite to greater angle is greater
in a right angled triangle one angle is 90 and other are smaller than 90
so hypotenuse is opposite to 90 and thus the longest

In the given triangle ABC,
Angle B = 90°
Hence Angle A + Angle C = 180°- 90° ...(Sum of all angles of the triangle are 180°)
Therefore Angle B is the greater angle than Angle A and Angle C. [Angle A>Angle C ]
We know that, Side opposite to greater angle is always longer.
Therefore, Side opposite to angle B is AC .
[AC > BC and AC > AB]
That is AC is the longest side..
[AC is the hypotenuse]
