ANSWER: Trigonometry

Hypotenuse

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the triangle's longest side, i.e., the side opposite the right angle. The word derives from the Greek hypo- ("under") and teinein ("to stretch").

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
