Question

in triangle stu, if side st is the longest side, what can be concluded about the angles of the triangle? a) ∠u is the largest angle. b) ∠t is the largest angle. c) ∠s is the largest angle. d) all angles are equal. your answer triangle xyz has sides xy = 5 cm, yz = 8 cm, and xz = 7 cm. which angle of the triangle is the smallest? a) ∠x b) ∠y c) ∠z d) cannot be determined

Explanation:

In a triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side and the smallest angle is opposite the shortest side. In triangle STU, side ST is the longest side, and the angle opposite it is ∠U. In triangle XYZ, side XY = 5 cm is the shortest side, and the angle opposite it is ∠Z.

Answer:

1. a) ∠U is the largest angle.
2. c) ∠Z
