How do you know which side is the opposite or adjacent in a right triangle?
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, an “opposite” side is the one across from a given angle, and an “adjacent” side is next to a given angle.

How do you know which side of a right triangle is the base?
A triangle that contains a 90-degree or right angle in one of its three corners is called a right triangle. A right triangle’s base is one of the sides that adjoins the 90-degree angle.
Which side is adjacent to a right angle?
hypotenuse
The side opposite to the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure). The sides adjacent to the right angle are called legs (or catheti, singular: cathetus).
Which of the following are the sides of a right angled triangle?
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the side opposite to the right angle and it is the longest side of the triangle. The other two legs are perpendicular to each other; one is the base and the other is the height.
How many right angle are there in a right triangle?
Daniel L. A right triangle has only one right angle.
What is the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle?
In a right angled triangle the longest side (side opposite to 90 degrees ) is the hypotenuse. (It will never change) For example consider a right angled triangle ABC, right angled at B. Then AC is the hypotenuse. If we mark angle (theta) at A, BC is opposite side and AB is adjacent side.
What is the opposite side of a right angled triangle?
The opposite is the side opposite the angle you are working with and the adjacent is the side between that angle and the right angle. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle cannot exceed the length of the third side. In a right angled triangle the longest side (side opposite to 90 degrees ) is the hypotenuse. (It will never change)
How do you find the adjacent side of a triangle?
Connect that angle to the right angle in the triangle, and that’s the adjacent side. Then you know the hypotenuse (opposite of the right angle) and the adjacent side, so the only other side must be the opposite side. Comment on HappyAnonymous’s post “The problem will say, “relative to angle ___.”
How do you find the adjacent and opposite sides of a hypotenuse?
How do I find the hypotenuse adjacent and opposite? Find the longest side and label it the hypotenuse. The adjacent and opposite can only be found if you choose one of the non right angled angles. The adjacent is the side that forms the angle of choice along with the hypotenuse. The opposite is the side that does not form the angle of choice.
