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

Reason: The hypotenuse is XY = c. For angle Y, the side opposite it is XZ = b, and the other non-hypotenuse side touching Y is YZ = a (adjacent).
