Answer:The side opposite to the obtuse angle in a obtuse triangle is the largest side of that triangle.


Explanation:

  • The obtuse angle is an angle that is more than 90° and less than 180°.
  • Any triangle cannot have two angles equal to or more than 90° .

So if a triangle has an obtuse angle then it will be the only obtuse angle in the triangle, rest of the other two angles must be smaller than that.

Also, we know that the side opposite to the lager angle is larger.

Therefore, the side opposite to the obtuse angle in a obtuse triangle is the largest side of that triangle.
