Question

Test Prep A triangular garden is made in a backyard. The sides measure 26m, 38m, and 50m. If a sign is posted in the smallest angle of the triangle, where should it go? A Opposite the side that is 26 m. B Opposite the side that is 38 m. C Opposite the side that is 50 m. D In the center of the triangle.​

Answer 1

(A) The sign should go in the corner opposite the side that is 26m.

Explanation:

In every triangle, the shortest side is opposite of the smallest angle and the longest side is opposite of the biggest angle.

For example, in a 30, 60, 90 triangle, the 30° angle is opposite a side length of 1 unit and the 90° angle is opposite a side length of 2 units. (60° is opposite radical 3)

Answer 2

A.

Explanation:

The smallest angle is opposite the smallest side.

So the answer is opposite the side of length 26m.
