Question

How are the sides of right triangle are named?

Answer 1

The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.  It is the largest side of a right-angled triangle.

If you stand at A in the triangle ABC, the side BC is opposite to you and the side AB is next to you.  We therefore say that BC is the opposite side to angle A and AB is the adjacent side to angle A.
