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
