Question

List the sides of each triangle from shortest to greatest

Answer 1

A) First, we need to calculate x. We can do this by doing: 180-(70+50), which is nothing but 60.

Since the largest angle is 60, it means that the side opposite of it is the largest side. Which in this case, side AB.

So the largest side is AB.

Now, let's take a look at the smallest angle which is <B, because AC is the opposite of this angle, it must also be the smallest side.

We're left with angle <50, which is "medium" sized? Obviously, this can just be put in the middle (Side BC)

So, for response A, you should get AC, BC, AB.

Now for problem B, it's the same steps we did above. If you replicate what we did you should get PQ, PR,RQ.

Please let me know how I did.

Happy studying!
