\(\boxed{\text{The opposite side of an angle: The only side in a triangle that isn't adjacent to it.}}\)
\(\boxed{\text{hypotenuse: the longest side in a right angled triangle.}}\)
x is an angle, then sin x (that's the usual abbrieviation for sine)means \(\dfrac{\text{opposite side of x}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\)
