Solution

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]
