Explanation: Adjacent segments are defined as : "Two segments that intersect (meet) at the vertex of the polygon"
Now, in the given triangle, there are two segments that form the hypotenuse: segment BE and segment EC
Now,we want the segment that is adjacent to AB We can note that: segment BE meets segment AB at the vertex B segment EC does not meet segment AB at any vertex
Based on the above definition, segment BE would be the portion of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to AB
