Question

In ΔMNO, m∠M = 57° and m∠N = 75°. Which list has the sides of ΔMNO in order from shortest to longest?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. MN, NO, OM

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: In any triangle, the sides and the angles are related in the following way:

*The largest angle and the longest side are opposite each other

*The medium angle and the mid-sized side are opposite each other

*The smallest angle and the shortest side are opposite each other

In ∆MNO, we are given that

m<M = 57° which is opposite to side NO

m<N = 75° which is opposite to side OM

m<O = 180° - (75° + 57°) (sum of triangle)

m<O = 48° which is opposite to side MN

Therefore, we can write the order of shortest to longest side in relation to their opposite angles as follows:

MN, NO, OM
