Angle Comparison in Scalene Triangles: Which is Larger, Angle C or A?

Triangle diagrams can be misleading and not drawn to scale! Without specific measurements like side lengths or angle degrees, you cannot determine which angle is actually larger.

You would need either specific angle measurements (like $\angle A = 45°$) or side lengths to use the angle-side relationship: larger angles are opposite longer sides.

A scalene triangle just means all sides are different lengths, so all angles are different too. But this doesn't tell us which specific angle is largest without actual measurements.

Acute angles means all angles are less than 90°, but this doesn't help compare $\angle A$ and $\angle C$ specifically. We still need measurements to determine which is larger.

Always list what information you have and what you need. If there's insufficient data to make a definitive comparison, then 'cannot be determined' or 'there is no way to know' is the correct answer!
