We have to find what the side opposite to the right angle in a right triangle is called.
The side opposite to the right angle in a right triangle is the longest side.
A right triangle consists of two perpendicular lines and a hypotenuse. We know that the perpendicular lines makes an angle of 90° and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle and is the side opposite the right angle.
So, the side opposite to the right angle in a right triangle is called hypotenuse.
Hence the correct option is 4.
