The longest side is side PQ which is correct option(C)
16m, 24m, 38m combination of measurements could form a triangle which is correct option(B)
What is right triangle?
Right triangle is defined as a triangle which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.
In ΔPQR,
The largest angle ∠P = 15°
The smallest angle ∠Q = 41°
2nd largest angle ∠R = 124°
Side RQ is opposite of angle ∠P
Side PQ is opposite of angle ∠R
Side PR is opposite of angle ∠Q
The angles in order from longest to shortest : ∠R > ∠Q > ∠P
The longest side is always opposite of the largest angle, and the smallest side is always opposite of the smallest angle.
Hence, the longest side = side PQ
A triangle can only be formed if the sum of any 2 side lengths adds up to be greater than the length of the other side.
The combination 16m, 24m, 38m is the only one where any 2 side lengths adds up to be greater than the other side
We can test this:
16 + 24 > 38
24 + 38 > 16
