Thomas is correct in his decision

Right angle triangle

In a right triangle, any angle facing the angle being referenced is the opposite side of the triangle

  • The slanted side is the longest side (hypotenuse) while the third leg will be the adjacent

  • Given the triangle ABC  in relation to ∠B, this shows that side b which represents AC is the opposite, AB is the hypotenuse and BC is the adjacent.

Hence Thomas is correct in his decision.
