What does it mean when the longest side of a triangle is always opposite the largest angle?

A triangle has three angles and three sides and it is possible for all three angles to be different from each other.
Each angle is defined by two of the sides - which form the rays meeting at the angle's vertex. The third side is the "opposite" side.
The above statement can be proven (eg by the sine rule) for any triangle.

The longest side of a triangle is always the angle with the largest measure?
opposite
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.
The longest side of a triangle is always what the angle with the largest measure?
across from, or opposite to
Why is the hypoteneuse the longest side of a right triangle?
The hypotenuse is defined as BEING the longest side of a triangle. In a right angle triangle, it is always opposite to the 90˚ angle, because the 90˚ angle is the largest angle of the triangle.
In a right triangle the base is always longest of the three side?
False because the longest side of a right angle triangle is its hypotenuse which is opposite to its largest angle of 90 degrees.
In a triangle the angle with the smallest measure is always opposite the?
shortest side
