In $$\triangle ABC,$$ $$\angle\,B\,=\,30^{\circ}$$ and $$\angle\,C\,=\,70^{\circ}$$. 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.
$${\textbf{Step 1: Consider, option A}}{\textbf{.}}$$
$${\text{The sum of two sides of a}}$$ $$\vartriangle $$ $${\text{is greater than the third side}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{From triangle inequality theorem we have,}}$$
$${\text{The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{Thus, option A}}{\text{. is true}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\textbf{Step 2: Consider, option B}}{\textbf{.}}$$
$${\text{In a right angled}}$$ $$\vartriangle $$ $${\text{hypotenuse is the longest side}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{By Pythagoras theorem we have,}}$$
$${\text{In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of}}$$
$${\text{square of the two sides}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{It implies that hypotenuse is the longest side}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{Thus, option B}}{\text{. is true}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\textbf{Step 3: Consider, option C}}{\textbf{.}}$$
$${\text{A, B, C are collinear if }}AB + BC = AC.$$
$${\text{As we know that, collinear points are the points that lie on the same line}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{These points lie on a line close to or far from each other}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{Thus, option C}}{\text{. is true}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{Hence, all of the above statements are true}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\text{So, none of these is false}}{\text{.}}$$
$${\textbf{Hence, option D is correct answer.}}$$
