Question

name the longest side of \\( \triangle abc \\).

\\( \bigcirc \\) cant be determined.

\\( \bigcirc \\) segment ac

\\( \bigcirc \\) segment bc

\\( \bigcirc \\) segment ab

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the triangle side - angle relationship

In a triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle.

Step2: Identify the largest angle

In \(\triangle ABC\), the angles are \(\angle A = 70^{\circ}\), \(\angle B=62^{\circ}\), \(\angle C = 48^{\circ}\). The largest angle is \(\angle A=70^{\circ}\).

Step3: Determine the side opposite the largest angle

The side opposite \(\angle A\) is \(BC\).

Answer:

Segment \(BC\)
