Question

which side is adjacent to \\( \angle b \\)?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of adjacent side

In a right - triangle, for an acute angle, the adjacent side is the non - hypotenuse side that forms the angle.

Step2: Analyze each side with respect to ∠B

• For side \(AB\): It is the hypotenuse.
• For side \(AC\): It is opposite to ∠B.
• For side \(BC\): It forms ∠B along with the hypotenuse \(AB\) and is a non - hypotenuse side.

Answer:

\(BC\)
