I'm assuming you're using sine, cosine, and tangent. When you find one of these, you're always using one of the acute angles, never the right angle. The easiest side to label is your hypotenuse, and it will always be the hypotenuse, no matter which angle you're using. The hypotenuse is the line that is the longest and is not on the right angle. Next, you have your adjacent and opposite angles. Adjacent means next to. The hypotenuse will always be next to your angle, so the other side on the angle is the adjacent. The opposite is the line across from the angle. I'm also assuming the angle you're talking about is 146.63 degrees. In this case, ? is the opposite because it is not touching the angle and is across from it.
