Two sides of any polygon that have a common vertex are called adjacent sides. In the triangle ABC sides AB and AC are adjacent sides as they meet a common vertex that is A. In the angle ABC sides AB and BC are adjacent sides as they meet a common vertex that is B.

What is adjacent wall?

Adjacent can refer to two things that touch each other or have the same wall or border.

What is hypotenuse math?

Definition of hypotenuse

Is Sin opposite over adjacent?

A convenient mnemonic for remembering the definition of the sine, as well as the cosine and tangent, is SOHCAHTOA (sine equals opposite over hypotenuse, cosine equals adjacent over hypotenuse, tangent equals opposite over adjacent).

Is the adjacent side always the shortest side?

The shorter side that is intersecting with the angle you look from is called the adjacent (shorter) side. This side is one of the arms of the angles you look from. This side HAS to be a shorter side.
