A building design requires a triangular support structure as part of its design. The plans show this structure as having sides of length 5 m, 1.1 m and 4.3 m. Analysis of the design shows that the structure will be unsafe if the largest angle of the triangle is more than 125⁰. Is the structure as designed safe?
