Given right triangle JKM, which correctly describes the locations of the sides in relation to ∠J? a is the hypotenuse, b is adja
cent, 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

Since you haven't added a diagram of the triangle, I'll just tell you how to identify the sides.
The side opposite to the right angle is the "opposite" side while the side adjacent to the right angle is the "adjacent" side. The hypotenuse of the right-angles triangle is the side opposite to the right angle.
As an example, please take a look at the attached image:
Taking a look at this image, we will find that:
both a and b are adjacent sides while c is the opposite of the right angle. c is also considered as the hypotenuse of the triangle.
The side opposite to the right angle is the "opposite" side while the side adjacent to the right angle is the "adjacent" side. The hypotenuse of the right-angles triangle is the side opposite to the right angle.
