In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, which is opposite the right angle. Based on the information provided:

  • 11.9 km
  • 14.7 km
  • X (length unknown)

Since we know that 14.7 km is greater than 11.9 km, the hypotenuse of this triangle would be the side labeled 14.7 km.

So the correct response is:

The side labeled 14.7 km.
