AI overview
A cathetus is one of the two shorter sides of a right triangle that form the right angle, as opposed to the hypotenuse, which is the longest side opposite the right angle. Understanding catheti matters in geometry and trigonometry because their lengths and relationships determine the properties of right triangles and are used in the Pythagorean theorem.
