The side opposite angle R in triangle RFE is option B. ¯¯¯¯¯¯RF.
To determine which side is opposite angle R in triangle RFE, you can refer to the image provided.
In a right triangle, the side opposite to the right angle is called the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle.
Looking at the image, we can see that the line segment RF is the longest side in triangle RFE since it directly connects the two endpoints of the right angle. Therefore, the side opposite angle R is side RF.
So, the correct answer is:
B. ¯¯¯¯¯¯RF
