hint : side opposite to smallest angle is the smallest side

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the given triangle, whats the smallest angle ?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the smallest is the narrowest :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

to find which is smallest, use "eyes" =)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good guess :) but a side is a segment, and u need to represent it wid two letters

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the side opposite to angle 27 is WX

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since `27` is the smallest angle in the triangle, `WX` will be the smallest side in the triangle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if that makes any sense...

Yes!! Thank you very much :) @ganeshie8
