Question

Julian describes an angle in the triangle using these statements.

GH is the adjacent side.

HK is the opposite side.

GK is the hypotenuse.

Triangle G H K is shown. Angle G H K is a right angle.

Which angle(s) is Julian describing?

∠G
∠H
∠K
∠H and ∠K

Answer 1

∠G

For ∠G the sides are: adjacent = GH, opposite = HK, and the hypotenuse = GK, so Julian is describing angle G.
