Find the longest and shortest side of the following diagram. Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since you only specify angles in this polygon and we don't know the length of any side, I submit that any side can be infinitely long. Also, it's noteworthy that angle(GIE) is 93 degrees which makes the drawing somewhat off scale.
Actually, you can lay this problem out on graph paper with a protractor. You just need to extend the lines until the polygon is formed with the angles given. When you do this, you might be able to conclude that side EG is the longest and side EV is the shortest and if you measure them you can probably determine this for sure, at least for the polygon that you drew and for other polygons with finite dimensions.
If you do this, you will also note that the scale drawing doesn't look at all like the drawing in your problem.
