Question

1/20
which side is adjacent to angle x?
1
2
3
(and a right triangle with legs labeled 2, 3 and hypotenuse labeled 1, angle x at the bottom right)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall adjacent side definition

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

Step2: Identify hypotenuse

In the right - triangle, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle. Here, side 1 is the hypotenuse (longest side in a right - triangle).

Step3: Determine adjacent side to angle \(x\)

For angle \(x\), side 2 is opposite to angle \(x\) (not adjacent). Side 3 forms angle \(x\) along with the hypotenuse (side 1) and is not the hypotenuse. So, side 3 is adjacent to angle \(x\).

Answer:

3
