To prove that in a triangle, other than an equilateral triangle, the angle opposite the longest side is greater than \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a right angle, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Triangle Let’s denote the triangle as \( \triangle ABC \) where \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are the vertices of the triangle. Assume that \( BC \) is the longest side, which means that angle \( A \) and angle \( C \) are less than angle \( B \). ### Step 2: Establish the Angles Since \( B \) is the largest angle, we can write: \[ ...
