The longest side of a triangle is always opposite to its largest angle.
In a scalene triangle, each side has a different length and each angle has a different measure. The longest side is always opposite the largest angle, while the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. Therefore, the statement that the longest side is opposite the angle with the smallest measure is incorrect; it should be the opposite.

In a scalene triangle, each side has a different length and each angle has a different measure. The longest side is always opposite the largest angle, while the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. Therefore, the statement that the longest side is opposite the angle with the smallest measure is incorrect; it should be the opposite.
The angle with the smallest measure is opposite the shortest side. Similarly, the angle with the largest measure is opposite the longest side.
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.
