Longest side of the triangle would be the hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we look at our trigonometry: Sin(angle) = Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cos(angle) = Adjacent/ Hypotenuse Tan(angle) = Opposite/ Adjacent

Actually this can be done just by looking at the numbers

Since the side JK is opposite to Z you can see that the biggest angle will create the biggest opposite side.

Think of it by using your index finger and middle finger the wider you make the angle between them the wider the opposite side you will make:|dw:1405804887173:dw|
