In ΔABC, m∠C = 118 and m∠B = 44. Which is the shortest side of the triangle
A. AB
B. BC
C. AC
B. BC..right?
Did you look at the reply I gave to your post from 1:33 ?
correct!
To determine the shortest side of triangle ABC, we need to compare the lengths of the sides AB, BC, and AC.
In a triangle, the shortest side is always opposite the smallest angle. So, we need to determine the smallest angle in triangle ABC.
Given that m∠C = 118 and m∠B = 44, we can see that m∠B is the smallest angle because 44 is less than 118.
Therefore, the smallest side of triangle ABC is side BC, which is opposite the smallest angle ∠B.
So, the answer is B. BC is the shortest side of the triangle.
