Label the triangle

Question

1. Label the sides of the following triangle opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse, according to x angle . (1 mark)

Answer 1

The hypotenuse (hyp) is the side opposite the right angle (always the longest side). The opposite side is the one you would be looking at if you were standing on the angle - straight across from the angle. The adjacent side is the one right next to the angle that is NOT the hypotenuse.
