Question 263576: If a triangle has the measures 85 and 69 degrees how would figure out which side is the shortest? Found 2 solutions by drk, stanbon:Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have 2 angles, we need to find the third angle
180 - 85 - 69 = 26
The side opposite the 26 degree angle will be the shortest.

The 3rd angle must be 180-(85+69) = 26 degrees.

The shortest side is the side opposite the smallest angle.
