hypotenuse


Explanation:
Yes, it is "the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle". I don't think you will find any Tagalog term for this. I would use the English term.

or: hypotenuse (gilid ng right triangle na katapat ng right angle). Just mention the explanation in parentheses once -- at the beginning of the document.

You may use Joy's version, but I prefer using "pinakamahabang" (longest) to "pinakamalaki" (biggest)

ang gilid na may pinakamahabang sukat ng isang Right Triangle


Explanation:
With due respect to fellow translators who have already answered this query, my answer focus on the LENGTH of a particular side of a right triangle.

Since a triangle have 3 sides and if this triangle contains a 90 degree angle, then the longest side is the hypotenuse of that triangle.

If we look at it in terms of angles, Hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle (90 degree angle) of a Right Triangle (ang gilid na kaharap ng Right angle (90 degree) ng isang Right Triangle).
