Question

Label the sides of the right triangle.*2 pointsCaptionless ImageA) Hypotenuse = 8 m, Adjacent = 15 m, Opposite = 17 mB) Hypotenuse = 17 m, Adjacent = 8 m, Opposite = 15 mC) Hypotenuse = 15 m, Adjacent = 17 m, Opposite = 8 mD) Hypotenuse = 17 m, Adjacent = 15 m, Opposite = 8 m

Answer 1

Given:

There are given that the right angle triangle, UVW.

Where,

`\begin{gathered} UV=8m \\ VW=15m \\ UW=17m \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the concept:

The hypotenuse is defined as the longest side in the right-angle triangle.

The perpendicular side is defined by the perpendicular base angle.

And,

The adjacent side is defined by the leg of the right-angle triangle.

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option is D.
