The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the longest side of triangle ABC given that angle A and angle C are both 50 degrees. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Angles**: We know that angle A = 50° and angle C = 50°. 2. **Use the Triangle Sum Property**: The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°. Therefore, we can find angle B using the formula: \[ \text{Angle B} = 180° - \text{Angle A} - \text{Angle C} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \text{Angle B} = 180° - 50° - 50° = 80° \] 3. **Identify the Largest Angle**: Now we have the angles: - Angle A = 50° - Angle B = 80° - Angle C = 50° The largest angle among these is angle B, which is 80°. 4. **Use the Property of Angles and Sides**: According to the property of triangles, the longest side is opposite the largest angle. Since angle B is the largest angle, the longest side will be opposite to angle B. 5. **Determine the Longest Side**: The side opposite to angle B (which is the largest angle) is side AC. Therefore, side AC is the longest side of triangle ABC. ### Final Answer: The longest side of triangle ABC is **side AC**. ---
