Question

what is the length of the side opposite ∠b?
a right triangle with right angle at c, labeled as follows: side ac is 4 units, side bc is 3 units, side ab is 5 units. the vertices are a, b, c with c being the right angle vertex.
options: 3 units, 4 units, 5 units, 6 units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify ∠B's opposite side

In right triangle \(ABC\), the side opposite an angle does not share a vertex with the angle. ∠B is at vertex B, so the side opposite is \(AC\).

Step2: Get length of side \(AC\)

From the diagram, the length of \(AC\) is given as 4 units.

Answer:

4 units
