In ΔABC, ∠A = 120° and ∠B = 40°. What is the measure of ∠ C? Which side is the longest?

Because the sum of the interior angles of a triangle are equal to 180 degrees, add 120 and 40 to get 160, then subtract from 180. Your answer would be <B = 20 degrees.

To find out which side is the longest, draw a triangle with angles that are close to these angle measurements. The side across from <A (the largest angle) is the longest side. Depending on your drawing, the longest side would either be BC or CB, depending on your letter order.

Hope this helps!! :)
