OpenStudy (welshfella):

THe longest side is opposite the greatest angle.

OpenStudy (keybox):

I'm not sure what that means? could you explain? @welshfella

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Yes but name the sides using small letters :- a > b > c (a is opposite angle A etc)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

|dw:1465245776158:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

side a is opposite the biggest angle A (78 degrees)

OpenStudy (keybox):

so I'm not sure which side is the biggest because 78 is biggest but it's both c and b

OpenStudy (keybox):

Or is it c<a<b

OpenStudy (welshfella):

???

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No a is the biggest side because its opposite the biggest angle A next comes b as its opposite next biggest angle 58 degrres and finally - opposite the sml alest angle (46 degrees() comes c.

OpenStudy (keybox):
