Question

Consider a right triangle ABC, right-angled at B. Then,

• A. AB
• B. BC
• C. AC
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

AC

In a triangle, the side opposite to the bigger angle is larger than that opposite to the smaller angle. In the above question, it is given that the triangle is a right angled triangle. So, the sum of the other two angles will be ${90}^{\circ }$. So, the longest side would be the one opposite to the right angle, i.e. AC. Hence, AC is the longest side.
