I can't see the right side of this figure for some reason. I do not see the L shaped that the answer is describing. Any help?

Thank you

I am fairly new to the PAT section (I just started studying). But it seems to me that the "right side" is technically the "back side" in our view point. The answer should be A, but I could be wrong.
 
The top of the "L" shape comes from the triangle, looking at it from the base. If you compare the bottom of the triangle to the top of the circle, you can see that the triangle extends over the edge of the front side of the circle. Then, since you can see the far side of the circle even over the top of the triangle, you know that the triangle doesn't cover much of the far side of the circle at all, hence that "L" shape (hope that makes sense!)

I'm pretty sure you saw it after you posted here.

But if you still don't see it, look carefully of how the triangle is stacked on tip of the other figure.

Now, based on the give diagram the base of the triangle is shown in the lower right side of the diagram with a missing angle.

Now, the base is at about 4:30 angle, imaging rotating the base so that it is at 3oclock or 6oclock

And flip it upside down.

If you were to shine a light towards the based at those angles, the shadow should/will resemble the "right side".

Use the imagination my friend
 
The highlighted L- shape simply refers to the area where the height change occurs from the right side view.
