What is a arch on a mosque?
Mosques were built in order to fit the entire Muslim population the area. The hypostyle floor plan was used the most; it's a hall with a flat ceiling that is supported with columns. Think of a forest of columns that are spread out evenly. This type of architecture was very popular because it was easy to expand upon; take out a wall, add two more rows of columns, add more ceiling, and you're done. Mosques were decorated using arches (normally a horseshoe type of arch) and alternating voussoirs; columns to support arches were normally taken from older buildings, or spolia. Arabesques and motifs can be seen around mosques; this was used to decorate since you couldn't depict anything with a soul. In Europe, some places were taken over, like the Parthenon and other buildings used for religious purposes; I don't know too much about any Mosques in Europe.

What is qiblah wall?
The Qibla WallThe Prayer Wall, as it is sometimes called, is one of the most important areas of the mosque. In the photo of Magribija above, it is the wall on the right-hand side.This wall is very specifically orientated, and that is why mosques often seem misplaced as they face a completely different direction than the other buildings on the same street. It's also why, when you view a Muslim city from the air, all mosques are pointing in the same direction regardless of the countless directions all the other buildings in the city face.The mosque itself points towards Mecca, and if you picture the direction to Mecca as a straight line - then the Prayer Wall is the wall of the mosque that cuts across the top of it like the top of a letter 'T'. So that wall faces in the direction of Mecca

What is one of the 2 sides of the right triangle that form the right angle?
In a right angled triangle, there are three sides. The longest of these is referred to as the hypotenuse. This longest side is always the side opposite the right angle. The other two sides are most often referred to as the "opposite" and "adjacent" depending on which other angle you are looking at. If you look at an angle other than the right angle, it will touch two lines. One of these is the hypotenuse, the other is the adjacent. The line it is not touching is the opposite.
