Question: What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Options:

1. The sum of the two shorter sides equals the longest side
2. The longest side is equal to the sum of the other two sides
3. The square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides
4. All sides are equal

Correct Answer: The square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides

Solution:

In a right triangle, the square of the longest side (hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides (Pythagorean theorem).
