In triangle ABC, angle B is 70 and C = 60. Which side of the triangle has the smallest length?

First, let’s find the angle A:

Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, then:

A = 180 – (B + C) = 180 – (70 + 60) = 180 – 130 = 50.

Following from the fact that the smallest angle lies in the triangle opposite the smallest side, we conclude that the BC side has the smallest length.

Answer: BC.
