Question

In ΔABC, if AB < BC < AC, name the largest and smallest angles of the triangle.

Answer 1

Given: AB < BC < AC

This means:

• AB is the shortest side 
• AC is the longest side
• BC is in between 

Step 1: Identify the largest angle

• The longest side is AC.
• The angle opposite AC is ∠B. 
• So, ∠B is the largest angle.

Step 2: Identify the smallest angle

• The shortest side is AB.
• The angle opposite AB is ∠C. 
• So, ∠C is the smallest angle.
