Answer:

The longest side of the triangle is YZ, the shortest side is ZX, the largest angle is ∠X and the smallest angle is ∠Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the sides of the triangle XYZ are as follows:

XY = n + 4

YZ = 2n

ZX = n - 2

According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.

Then,

XY < YZ + ZX ⇒ n + 4 < 2n + n - 2 ⇒ n + 4 < 3n - 2 ⇒ 2n > 6 ⇒ n > 3

YZ < XY + ZX ⇒ 2n < n + 4 + n - 2 ⇒ 2n < 2n + 2 ⇒ 0 < 2

ZX < XY + YZ ⇒ n - 2 < n + 4 + 2n ⇒ n - 2 < 3n + 4 ⇒ 2n > -6 ⇒ n > -3

It is provided that <em>n</em> ≥ 5.

Then the sides of the triangle are:

XY = n + 4 ≥ 5 + 4 = 9

YZ = 2n ≥ 2 × 5 = 10

ZX = n - 2 ≥ 5 - 2 = 3

So, the longest side of the triangle is YZ. And the shortest side is ZX.

The largest angle of a triangle is opposite to the longest side.

The angle opposite to YZ would be X. So, the largest angle is ∠X.

The smallest angle of a triangle is opposite to the shortest side.

The angle opposite to ZX would be Y. So, the smallest angle is ∠Y.

Thus, the longest side of the triangle is YZ, the shortest side is ZX, the largest angle is ∠X and the smallest angle is ∠Y.

The three angles of a triangle are in the ratio 5:4:1. Find all the angles of the triangle.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first angle be 5x

second be 4x

and third be 1x

as we know that by adding all the sides of triangle we get 180°

therefore  ,

5x+4x+1x=180°

10x=180°

hence ,  

x=18°

first angle - 18*5 = 90°

second angle - 18*4=72°

third angle - 18°

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU !!!
