In △ABC, ∠B=30∘ and ∠C=70∘. The greatest side of the triangle is:
Explanation
In the same figure, if y > x > z; arrange sides AB, BC and AC in descending order according their lengths.
If AB > AC > BC, arrange the angles x, y and z in decending order of their values.
{\textbf{Step 1: Consider, option A}}{\textbf{.}}
{\text{The sum of two sides of a}} \vartriangle {\text{is greater than the third side}}{\text{.}}
{\text{From triangle inequality theorem we have,}}
{\text{The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side}}{\text{.}}
{\text{Thus, option A}}{\text{. is true}}{\text{.}}
{\textbf{Step 2: Consider, option B}}{\textbf{.}}
{\text{In a right angled}} \vartriangle {\text{hypotenuse is the longest side}}{\text{.}}
{\text{By Pythagoras theorem we have,}}
{\text{In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of}}
{\text{square of the two sides}}{\text{.}}
{\text{It implies that hypotenuse is the longest side}}{\text{.}}
{\text{Thus, option B}}{\text{. is true}}{\text{.}}
{\textbf{Step 3: Consider, option C}}{\textbf{.}}
{\text{A, B, C are collinear if }}AB + BC = AC.
{\text{As we know that, collinear points are the points that lie on the same line}}{\text{.}}
{\text{These points lie on a line close to or far from each other}}{\text{.}}
{\text{Thus, option C}}{\text{. is true}}{\text{.}}
{\text{Hence, all of the above statements are true}}{\text{.}}
{\text{So, none of these is false}}{\text{.}}
{\textbf{Hence, option D is correct answer.}}
