It is known that ABC is a triangle right angled at B.
We know that,
A + B + C = 180°
If B+C = 90° then A has to be 90°.
Since A is the largest angle of the triangle, the side opposite to it must be the largest.
So, AB is the hypotenuse which will be the largest side of the above right-angled triangle i.e. ΔABC.
