Answer 1

In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side and is located opposite the right angle. Based on the options you've provided:

• WT is the line segment connecting points W and T.
• LT is the line segment connecting points L and T.
• WL is the line segment connecting points W and L.

Without a diagram, we typically identify the hypotenuse as the side opposite the right angle. However, if we assume that angle L is the right angle, then the hypotenuse would be the side opposite ∠L.

In this case, if ∠L is the right angle, the hypotenuse would be:

WT (line segment WT)

If angle L is the right angle, WT would be the answer, as it would be the longest side opposite the right angle.
