The side of a triangle is always opposite the angle with the largest measure?

No, this statement is not correct. The side opposite the largest angle is the longest side of a triangle only if the triangle is obtuse. In acute triangles, the side opposite the largest angle is the longest side, and in right triangles, the side opposite the right angle (90 degrees) is the longest side.


Classify the triangle with sides 10 13 19 as acute right or obtuse?

In a right triangle, a2 + b2 = c2, where c is the longest side. If the square of the longest side is more than the sum of the other two squares, the triangle has an obtuse angle. If it is less, all angles are acute.


In a Obtuse angled triangle what angle is opposite the longer side?

It is a characteristic of any triangle that the longest side is opposite the largest angle and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.


Where is the circumcenter of an obtuse triangle?

The circumcentre is outside the triangle - next to the longest line.


What is the longest side of triangle called?

The longest side of a triangle is called the Hypotenuse.


Can a scalene triangle be a obtuse triangle?

Yes, indeed. Imagine a scalene triangle sitting on its longest side. If you could push the pointy part on top down, it would eventually become an obtuse triangle.


Is the term hypotenuse associated with obtuse triangles?

No, it isn't. The term Hypotenuse is associated with right triangles. It is the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle.


How many perpendicular sides does an obtuse triangle have?

An obtuse triangle is a triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees. Since a perpendicular side is a side that forms a right angle with another side, an obtuse triangle can have 0 perpendicular sides if all its angles are obtuse. However, it can also have 1 perpendicular side if one of its angles is a right angle.


What is the longest side of a right triangle?

The longest side of a right angle triangle is called the hypotenuse.


What do you call longest side of right triangle?

The longest side a right angle triangle is its hypotenuse


When The longest side of a triangle is always opposite of what?

The longest side of a triangle is opposite to its largest angle


When is a triangle obtuse when lengths of sides are given?

Calculate the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If this is less than the square of the remaining, third, side then the triangle is obtuse.There are three possibilities - let the three sides of the triangle be A, B and C with C the longest side (that is C &ge; A and C &ge; B). Then, if:A2 + B2 > C2 the triangle is acuteA2 + B2 = C2 the triangle is right angledA2 + B2 < C2 the triangle is obtuse
