IN A RIGHT TRIANGLE GENERALLY THE LEGS ARE THE 2 SIDES (BASE & HEIGHT) WITH THE 90 DEGREE ANGLE BETWEEN THEM.
THE MISSING LINE IS USUALLY THE HYPOTENUSE.
THE THIRD SIDE (HYPOTENUSE) IS CIS THE TERM IN THE PYTHAGOREAN THE0RUM:
A^2+B^2=C^2
THUS WE HAVE:
8^2+12^2=C^2
64+144=C^2
208=C^2
C=SQRT208
C=14.42 LENGTH OF THE HYPOTENUSE.
