Let us consider the following right-angled triangle.

In the above right-angled triangle, the reference angle is θ.

With respect to angle θ, the side across the reference angle is the opposite side.

The side next to the reference angle is the adjacent side.

And the remaining side (longest) is the hypotenuse.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. Opposite side

It is the side across the reference angle in a right triangle.a. Adjacent Side b. Hypotenuse-example-1
