Question

In a triangle what is always opposite the angle with the greatest measure

The shortest side
the angle with the least measure
The longest side
The middle side

Answer 1

The longest side

Think about it. The widest angle would leave a resulting long side to reach the ends of the angle

If you look at the picture, the side across from the widest angle has the longest length

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

The longest side.

Explanation:

We know that in any triangle the side opposite to the angle with the largest measure is always the longest side ( i.e the side with largest length) and the side opposite to the smallest angle measure is the shortest side ( i.e. the side with shortest side length ).

Hence, here we are asked what is opposite the angle with the greatest measure:

The answer is:

The longest side.
