Question

The longest side of a triangle is always ___________ the angle with the largest measure.

Answer 1

Solutions

The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².

Answer 2

The longest side of a triangle is always across from the angle with the largest measure. Like, if the largest angle were labeled "C" then the longest side is labeled "c".
