Question

what is right triangle legs?

Answer 1

The Pythagorean theorem states that: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).

Answer 2

A right triangle or right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90-degree angle). The relation between the sides and angles of a right triangle is the basis for trigonometry.

The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure). The sides adjacent to the right angle are called legs . Side a may be identified as the side adjacent to angle B and opposed to (or opposite) angle A, while side bis the side adjacent to angle A and opposed to angle B.
