Hope this Helps and you got the answer correct

Legs - the sides that form the right angle of a right triangle.

Hypotenuse - the side opposite the right angle of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle has 3 sides.

Certain special triangle have specific names assigned to their sides.

A right triangle has one right angle and two acute angles. The two sides that form the right angle of a right triangle are called legs. The third side of the right triangle is called hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle and does not help form the right angle.
