उत्तर
Given, in ΔPQR, ∠P = 70° and ∠R = 30°.
We know that, sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°.
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
∴ ∠Q = 180° – (70° + 30°)
= 80°
We know that here ∠Q is longest, so side PR is longest ...[∴ Since in a triangle, the side opposite to the largest angle is the longest]

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:

In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,

and ∠ADB = ∠ADC
Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
