opposite and adjacent
There are three sides, hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent. But the adjacent and opposite are not fixed sides: it depends on which of the two acute angles you are examining.For either of the non-right angles, the adjacent side is the one which forms the angle, along with the hypotenuse. For the given angle θ, the length of the adjacent side compared to the hypotenuse (adjacent/hypotenuse) is the cosine (cos θ).
In a right angles triangle the sides are named the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) and the other two sides are called the adjacent and the opposite sides. 1) The sine of an angle = length of the opposite side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. 2) The cosine of an angle = length of the adjacent side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. Using 1) The length of the hypotenuse = length of the opposite side ÷ the sine of the angle. Using tables or a calculator obtain the sine of the angle and divide this into the length of the opposite side. The result will be the length of the hypotenuse.
Opposite and adjacent sides.

Hypotenuse,Adjacent and opposite in a triangle and these sides can be worked out
They are the adjacent and the opposite sides with the hypotenuse being the longest side
adjacent, opposite and hypotenuse
adjacent, opposite and hypotenuse
They are: opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse sides for a right angle triangle
Given the reference perspective of a specific angle the sides are are the adjacent sides and the opposite side If we have a right triangle the longest side (opposite the right angle) is the hypotenuse.
A right angle triangle has an hypotenuse which is its longest side, an adjacent side and an opposite side.
