  • ALargest angle
  • BSmallest angle
  • CRight angle only
  • DMiddle angle

Step-by-Step Solution

In any triangle, the longest side lies opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side opposite the smallest angle.
Answer: A) Largest angle

Key idea: Side-angle relationship

**The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle. The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.**

In an isosceles triangle, the two equal sides face equal angles. In an equilateral triangle, all sides equal → all angles 60°.

This lets you order sides if you know the angles, or vice versa, even without computing exact values.
