Question

In GHJ, GH = 21 inches, HJ = 24 inches, and GJ = 9 inches. Which statement is true? A. G is smallest B. J is smallest C. H is largest D. G is largest

Answer 1

Answer:

D. G is the largest

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a triangle and label it so it says G, H, and J, on its points.

2. Write 21 between the G and H. Write 24 between the H and J. Write 9 between G and J.

3. Since side HJ is 24 inches, larger than GH and GJ, the angle across from it is also the largest. If you look at your drawn triangle the angle across from side HJ is angle G.
