In PQR,
P = 70° and
R = 30°. Which side of this triangle is the longest? Give a reason for your answer.
In PQR
P +
Q +
R = 180° (angle sum property)
P = 70° and
R = 30° (Given)
70° + Q + 30° = 180°
Q = 80°
The greatest angle is
Q and we know that the side opposite to the greatest angle will be the longest.
Therefore, PR is the longest side.
