1.	Show that in a right angle triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side
Answer» Let ABC be a right triangle in which angle B=90°Then,angleA+angleC=90°.therefore,angleB>angleA and angleB>angleC=>AC>BC and AC>AB[side opp. to larger angle is longer].therefore,AC is the longest side.Hence,in a right triangle,the hypotenuse is the longest side. In triangle abc ac is perpendicular to ab.
