The longest side?

by sanju09 » Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:49 am
If the degree measure of one of the interior angles of a triangle is 30, what is the length of the longest side?

(1) The length of the side opposite the 30° angle is 3.

(2) The degree measure of one of the interior angles is 60.

IMO C

From A: Not sufficient

From B: Not sufficient

Using A & B,we have a 30/60/90 triangle with smallest side 3.And we know that the sides for such a triangle are 1:root3:2.
Thus C
