Explanation:
For the explanation given in the paragraph you quoted it sounds to me like a description of a right triangle. So here are the terms for a right triangle/triangulo rectangulo, both in Spanish and in English. If you go to the sites, you'll find figures you can look at.
Good luck!

Triángulo rectángulo

Un triángulo rectángulo es un triángulo en el que uno de sus tres ángulos es recto, es decir, mide 90º o π/2 radianes. Este tipo de triángulo cumple el Teorema de Pitágoras.
Como muestra la figura adjunta, la hipotenusa es el lado opuesto al ángulo recto. Por contra, el cateto es cualquiera de los dos lados que forman el ángulo recto del triángulo.
