Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the relationship between the angles and sides in a triangle. In any triangle, the angle with the smallest measure is always opposite the shortest side. This is a fundamental property of triangles.
Step 1: Understand the Relationship Between Angles and Sides in a Triangle
In any triangle, the angle with the smallest measure is always opposite the shortest side. This is a fundamental property of triangles that helps us determine the correct answer.
Step 2: Identify the Correct Answer
Given the options:
A. angle with the greatest measure
B. longest side
C. shortest side
D. second-longest side
The correct answer is the one that states the angle with the smallest measure is opposite the shortest side.
Final Answer
The answer is \( \boxed{\text{C. shortest side}} \).
