  1. Hypotenuse - the side of a right triangle that is opposite the right angle; always the longest side.

  2. Pythagorean Theorem - the theorem stating that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs in a right triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

  3. Substitute - to take the place of; to replace.

  4. Legs - in a right triangle, either of the two sides forming the right angle.
