Explain why the hypotenuse of a right triangle must always be longer than either leg.

A line segment has a set length (side A). By adding a perpendicular line segment (side B) to A, we create a right angle. Because we measure the the hypotenuse from A’s endpoint to B’s endpoint, the distance will always be greater than measuring from the endpoint of either side to the point of merger/connection.

Hmmm i had this before , give me a sec
