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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Solution
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, an "opposite" side is the one across from a given angle, and an "adjacent" side is next to a given angle.
Adjacent and opposite sides are in respect to the angle asked and can vary accordingly. Opposite side is the side that is opposite to the angle asked for and the adjacent side is the side that is right by the angle that is asked for.
