hypotenuses
Right triangles' diagonals
Hypotenuses is the plural of hypotenuse, the longest side of a right triangle—the one opposite the right angle.
The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
The hypotenuses of these triangles are all equal in length.
