Question

In △XYZ, m∠X = 27° and m∠Y = 48°. Which gives the sides of the triangle in order from shortest to longest?

Answer 1

Answer:

z, y and x

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, to answer this question, what we must know is that the side facing the largest angle is the largest while the side facing the smallest is the smallest.

What i’m saying in essence is that the bigger the angle faced, the larger the side.

Now since we have 3 angles in a triangle that adds up to 180

we have 27 and 48 already, the third side would be 180-27-48 = 105

So which side faces which angle?

Let’s have a diagrammatic representation of the said triangle.

The longest side is thus z, followed by y and lastly x
