Which side of the triangle in the diagram is the hypotenuse?

 

The image is a graphical representation of a right triangle with a right angle at the bottom left. The sides of the triangle are labeled with the letters $X$X, $Y$Y, and $Z$Z. The hypotenuse is labeled $X$X, the vertical leg is labeled $Z$Z, and the base or horizontal leg is labeled $Y$Y. At the bottom left corner, where the vertical and horizontal legs meet at a right angle, there is a square outline which is colored in a light blue to indicate the right angle.
