Triangle x y z is shown. angle x z y is a right angle. the length of z x is b, the length of z y is a, and the length of hypotenuse x y is c. given right triangle xyz, which correctly describes the locations of the sides in relation to ∠y? a is opposite, b is adjacent, c is the hypotenuse a is the hypotenuse, b is opposite, c is adjacent a is adjacent, b is the hypotenuse, c is opposite a is adjacent, b is opposite, c is the hypotenuse

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

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle XYZ we have

The side a and side b are the legs and the side c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

The side a is the adjacent side to angle Y and is the opposite side to angle X

The side b is the opposite side to angle Y and is the adjacent side to angle X

The side c is the hypotenuse

The sum of the angles X and Y is equal to 90 degrees because are  complementary angles

therefore

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

b
