- In geometry, a hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle. It is the longest side of any such triangle; the two other shorter sides of such a triangle are called catheti or legs. The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs. Mathematically, this can be written as 𝑎^2 + 𝑏^2 = 𝑐^2, where a is the length of one leg, b is the length of another leg, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras’ theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.
- Right angle (Wikipedia)
In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees or 𝜋/2 radians corresponding to a quarter turn. If a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles. The term is a calque of Latin angulus rectus; here rectus means “upright”, referring to the vertical perpendicular to a horizontal base line.
Frankly, I did not get full satisfaction from this interview.

- Right triangle (Wikipedia)
A right triangle or right-angled triangle, sometimes called an orthogonal triangle or rectangular triangle, is a triangle in which two sides are perpendicular forming a right angle (1⁄4 turn or 90 degrees).
