Question

given right triangle xyz, which correctly describes the locations of the sides in relation to ∠y? a is opposite, b is adjacent, c is the hypotenuse a is the hypotenuse, b is opposite, c is adjacent a is adjacent, b is the hypotenuse, c is opposite a is adjacent, b is opposite, c is the hypotenuse

Explanation:

In a right - triangle, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right - angle. For angle Y in right - triangle XYZ, side c is the hypotenuse. The side opposite an angle is the one that does not form the angle, and the adjacent side forms the angle with the hypotenuse. For angle Y, side a is adjacent and side b is opposite.

Answer:

a is adjacent, b is opposite, c is the hypotenuse
