Step-by-Step Solution
. The largest angle is , and the longest side is the one opposite it, .
Answer: D) AC
In △ABC, ∠A = 48° and ∠B = 67°. Which side of the triangle is the longest?

Key idea: Inequalities in a triangle
**Property 1**: In a triangle, the side opposite the LARGER angle is LONGER. (Bigger angle stretches the opposite side.)
**Property 2**: Conversely, the angle opposite the longer side is larger.
**Property 3 (Triangle Inequality)**: The sum of any two sides of a triangle is GREATER than the third side.
This means three given lengths form a triangle ONLY IF each pair sums to more than the third.
Example: Can 2, 3, 6 form a triangle? Check: 2 + 3 = 5 < 6. NO.
**Property 2**: Conversely, the angle opposite the longer side is larger.
**Property 3 (Triangle Inequality)**: The sum of any two sides of a triangle is GREATER than the third side.
This means three given lengths form a triangle ONLY IF each pair sums to more than the third.
Example: Can 2, 3, 6 form a triangle? Check: 2 + 3 = 5 < 6. NO.
