in a right triangle what do you call the shortest side​

Answer:

  • A right triangle has two shorter sides, or legs, and the longest side, opposite the right angle, which is always called the hypotenuse. The two shorter sides have some other special names, too, based on which acute angle of the triangle you happen to be working with at a particular time.

Answer:

Hi, There!  your, Answer is Below!

The shortest side is the one opposite the smallest angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle you already know is the shortest one, then the shortest side is opposite it. However, if the angle you already know is the medium one, then the shortest side is adjacent to it.
