Complete this sentence: the longest side of a triangle is always opposite the a. second-longest side b. angle with the smallest measure c. angle with the greatest measure d. shortest side

The answer is C. Angle with greatest measure

Step-by-step explanation:

In any triangle, there are two property that they always fulfill:

A classical example is in a right triangle: We know that the hypotenuse is the longest side, and also we know that the greatest angle is the right angle.

I have attached an image that shows the properties of the triangles.

Finally, the answer is C. Angle with the greatest measure.

Angle with the greatest measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
