Answer: C) Segment PR

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the missing angle R. We'll use the idea that all three angles of any triangle always add to 180

P+Q+R = 180

48+83+R = 180

131+R = 180

R = 180-131

R = 49

Here are the three angles of triangle PQR

  • P = 48
  • Q = 83
  • R = 49

The largest angle is Q = 83, so the opposite side PR is the longest side. The longest side of a triangle is always opposite the largest angle.
