Interactive practice questions

Which of the following is the opposite side to angle $\theta$θ?

A right-angled triangle has vertices labeled in a counterclockwise direction: top vertex is labeled as $A$A, bottom-left vertex is labeled as $B$B, and bottom-right vertex is labeled as $C$C. At vertex $A$A, $\angle BAC$BAC is labeled as $\alpha$α, and marked with a single blue arc. At vertex $B$B, $\angle ABC$ABC is labeled as $\theta$θ, and marked with a double blue arc. At vertex $C$C, $\angle ACB$ACB is the right angle denoted by a small square. The hypotenuse is the side $AB$AB,and is opposite vertex $C$C. Horizontal side $BC$BC is opposite of vertex $A$A. Vertical side $AC$AC is opposite of vertex $B$B.
