Question

If the angle measure is the largest of the triangle, what do you know about the side opposite?

It is the length.

If a side is the shortest of the triangle, what do you know about the angle opposite that side?

It is the degree measure.

Answer 1

Answer: the longest side

the smallest angle

Step-by-step explanation: the largest is longest

the smallest is shortest

Answer 2

A) the longest side

B) the smallest angle

Explanation:

Relationship of sides to interior angles in a triangle

In a triangle:

• The shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle
• The longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle

Recall that in a scalene triangle, all the sides have different lengths and all the interior angles have different measures. In such a triangle, the shortest side is always opposite the smallest angle. Similarly, the longest side is opposite the largest angle.

So,

A) the longest side

B) the smallest angle
