Question

looking at ∠z, identify the red side as the hypotenuse, adjacent, or opposite

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle side definitions

In a right - triangle, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, the adjacent side to an acute angle is the leg that forms the angle with the other leg, and the opposite side is the leg not forming the angle.

Step2: Analyze the triangle and ∠Z

The triangle is right - angled at Y. For ∠Z, the red side (XZ) is opposite the right angle at Y. By definition, the side opposite the right angle in a right - triangle is the hypotenuse.

Answer:

Hypotenuse (corresponding to the option with "Hypotenuse" text, e.g., if the green option is labeled with "Hypotenuse", then the answer is the option with "Hypotenuse" like "Hypotenuse (the green - colored option with text 'Hypotenuse')")
