Question 282678: In ΔABC, m∠C = 118 and m∠B = 44. Which is the shortest side of the triangle?

Given the two angles (118 and 44), you know the third angle must be 180-118-44 = 18.
So angle A is 18.
Since angle A is the smallest angle then the side opposite angle A must be the shortest side --> side a is opposite angle A
