For the 68-deg angle, the 14 ft leg is the adjacent leg or the opposite leg?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In math we don't "guess," and we don't "believe." We calculate, and we are sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Adjacent!

@lilia222 I'm trying to help you so you understand this. You have a simple trig question. It involves trig of a right triangle. Answer my question above, and you'll get your answer soon.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. "Adjacent" means next to. "Opposite" means across from.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Read the statements in order of the numbers. This is how you tell the adjacent from the opposite leg. |dw:1403209357043:dw|
