Right-Angled Triangle
The triangle of most interest is the right-angled triangle. The right angle is shown by the little box in the corner:
triangle showing Opposite, Adjacent and Hypotenuse
Another angle is often labeled θ, and the three sides are then called:
Adjacent: adjacent (next to) the angle θ
Opposite: opposite the angle θ
and the longest side is the Hypotenuse
