Question

In triangle ABC, ∠A = 55°, ∠B = 75°. Which statements are correct? You must select all correct answers.

Side BC is the longest side
Side AB is the shortest side
Side AC is the longest side
Side BC is the shortest side

Answer 1

AC is the longest side

AB is the shortest

Explanation:

Generally, the side that faces the smallest angle has the smallest side while the side that faces the largest angle has the largest side

The measure of the third angle C is 180 - 55 -75 = 50

Kindly note that A faces BC

B faces AC

C faces AB

So while AC is the longest side, AB is the shortest

So the correct answers are;

AC is the longest side

AB is the shortest side
