Sine of theta is the ratio of the lengths of the Opposite side over the Hypotenuse (SOH). Cosine of theta is Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH). Tangent of theta is Opposite over Adjacent (TOA).
So the picture is wrong then, the marked angle is top right (and the right angle, of course), the other angle is not marked, so adjacent and opposite are swapped.

Oh you’re saying opposite site and adjacent site in English

How do you know which one is “opposite” and adjacent? They could literally be exactly the same but in any case they both touch the hypotenuse?

Adjacent or opposite to the angle you’re referring to.
