Answer:

(b) side WU

Step-by-step explanation:

With respect to any given acute angle in a right triangle, the sides of the triangle are called "adjacent", "opposite", or "hypotenuse".

The two sides that form angle W are WU and WV. Side WV is the longest, opposite the right angle, so it is the hypotenuse. Side WU is "adjacent" to angle W, and side UV is "opposite" angle W.

(It can help to note that the name of the opposite side UV does not contain the letter of the angle W. The name of the adjacent side WU does contain the letter of the angle.)

Hello There!

The temperature at 10 am in the morning was 1 degree below zero.

First, we know at 8 am that the temperature was 3 degrees below zero so that number is -3 and it’s our starting number.

Next, it says an hour later the temperature has gone up 6 degrees so we have -3 + 6 and we get a sum of positive 3.

Finally, at 9 am the temperature dropped again but this time 4 degrees so 3 - 4 = -1

The temperature at 10 am in the morning was 1 degree below zero.
