If you know the side lengths of a triangle, how do you determine which angle is the largest?

Do you have any selective choices?

OpenStudy (aric200):

No.

wouldnt you just look at the side length and see which one is bigger?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the smallest side is opposite the smallest angle, and the longest is opposite the largest angle, then it follows that since a triangle only has three sides, the midsize side is opposite the midsize angle.

Is this triangle inequalities?

because the longest side is across from the largest angle

(These are shown in bold color above) Similarly, the longest side is opposite the largest angle) understand?
