abcd is a right angle triangle at b.
(using inequalities)
the greatest angle has the greatest side apposite to it.
so, in a right angle triangle the greatest angle is 90°. so the line opposite to it (hypotenuse) is the longest side.
I hope you understand it well.

Here Given that : A right angled triangle ABC, B = 90°.
To prove : Hypotenuse AC is the longest wide.
Means
AC > AB
AC > BC
Now in ABC
= 90°
But CAB + BCA + CBA = 180°
90° + BCA + CAB = 180°
=> BCA + CAB = 90°
=> BCA and CAB are acute angles
Thus, BCA < 90° and CAB < 90°
=> BCA < ABC and CAB < ABC
=> AC > AB and AC > BC
Side opposite to greater angle is larger. Thus, AC is the longest side.
