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.

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.

The one with the Jedi? Yes, was wondering about that too. If you get through the trouble creating something like that you should really try to make it right.
