The shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle
The longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle

Perfect. Here, see the opposite sides of these angles.
You know that x is the largest angle , thus, the side opposite to x is the largest.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what would be our answer?

Ahm.. Would you mind making your answer a bit more clear .. ?

"smallest angle is x and longest angle is y right?"
The smallest interior angle of right triangle WXY is w. w = 51 x = 90 because x is a right angle.
I believe the correct answer is WX, XY, YW, though I'm not confident.
