Ok

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Remember that larger the angle, longer is the side opposite to it.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Now, in a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side. Right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Good, so the angle opposite to it must also be the largest one in a right angled triangle.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

So, now can you tell me what is the largest angle in the given triangle.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

You have already been given all the angles. So, what would be your answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't it the 90 degree angle?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!
