Question

given right triangle jkm, which correctly describes the locations of the sides in relation to ∠j? a is the hypotenuse, b is adjacent, c is opposite a is the hypotenuse, b is opposite, c is adjacent a is adjacent, b is opposite, c is the hypotenuse a is opposite, b is the hypotenuse, c is adjacent

Explanation:

Step1: Identify hypotenuse

Hypotenuse opposes right angle (M). Side a (JK) is hypotenuse.

Step2: Adjacent to ∠J

Sides forming ∠J: a (hypotenuse) and b (JM). So b is adjacent.

Step3: Opposite to ∠J

Side not forming ∠J: c (KM). So c is opposite.

Answer:

A. a is the hypotenuse, b is adjacent, c is opposite
