Which side of a right triangle is always opposite the right angle?

• Adjacent side

• Opposite side

• None of the above

• Hypotenuse

How do you determine the opposite side in relation to a given angle in a right triangle?

• It's the side forming the right angle.

• It's the side across from the angle.

• It's the side touching the angle.

• It's the longest side of the triangle.

In the mnemonic SOHCAHTOA, what does 'S' stand for?

• Sine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

• Sine = Opposite/Adjacent

• Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse

• Sine = Hypotenuse/Opposite
