Question

question
which segment is the hypotenuse?
answer
\\( \overline { b t } \\)
\\( \overline { p t } \\)
\\( \overline { b p } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of hypotenuse

The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right - angle in a right - triangle.

Step2: Identify the right - angle in the triangle

In triangle \(TPB\), \(\angle P = 90^{\circ}\) (right - angle).

Step3: Determine the side opposite the right - angle

The side opposite \(\angle P\) is \(\overline{BT}\)

Answer:

\(\overline{BT}\)
