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.

Is a scalene triangle is obtuse.?

It is impossible to have an obtuse AND scalene triangle, because in order for it to be obtuse, it must have one obtuse angle but, in order for a triangle to be scalene it must have two equivalent sides. So, in the end if you have an obtuse and scalene triangle, it is not longer a triangle.


Why is the hypotenuse?

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle and is opposite the right angle. It is always longer than the other two sides of the triangle. This is because the length of the hypotenuse is determined by the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.


What does the side-angle inequality theorem state?

In a triangle, if one side is longer than the other side, the angle opposite the longer side is the larger angle. It state that If one angle of a triangle is larger than another angle, then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle.. I hope it will help in your study..... AJ


If the length of the longest side of a right triangle is 3 more than the length of the shorter side the length of the hypotenuse is 3 more than the length of the longer side find length of each side?

9,3,6 The dimensions given above would not be suitable for a right angled triangle which presumably the question is asking about. The dimensions suitable for a right angled triangle in the question are: 9, 12, 15.


What can be the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle?

the ratios in such a triangle are 1:2:sqrt(3) so the longest length is opposite the 90 degree angle and is twice as large as the length opposite the 30 degree angle
