Can you guys please help me i really don't get this question. Thanks in advance.

A triangle has angles of 34 degrees, 56 degrees, and 90 degrees. It also have sides of 6, 8, and 10. Which side is across from which angle?

If you can also give me an explanation for this  that would be great

hi Breeann522

Welcome to the forum.

In any triangle, the longest side is always opposite the largest angle; the middle sized side opposite the middle sized angle; and the shortest side opposite the smallest angle.
