AC

Answer 17

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 18

AC is opposite the smaller angle though

Answer 19

do you see how I'm getting all this?

Answer 20

most of it but some no, because 65 and 60 are larger so that why i said it was AC but apparently this all comes down to answer D?

Answer 21

AC is opposite the smaller angle (compared to BC), so AC is shorter than BC

see how that works?
