Perhaps you are referring to the trigonometric function sin which is defined as the opposite divided by the hypotenuse. if you then the opposite is refereeing to the side that is opposite the angle, or the side that is furthest away from the angle.

The sine of an angle in a right triangle is opposite/hypotenuse, where opposite is the only side that is not adjacent to the angle you want to find the sine of, and the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle in the triangle. Just find opposite/hypotenuse.
Sin is the opposite over the hypotenuse.
You simply find the midpoint of each side of the triangle, then you draw a line connecting the midpoints to their opposite corners of the triangle. The intersection of these points will occur at the same point: the centroid.
It is opposite the right angle of the triangle.
Sin is sin-1(opposite/hypotonose)
