Question

list the angle measures of \\(\triangle ijk\\) in order from smallest to largest. assume that \\(v\\) is a positive number.
\\(m\angle\square < m\angle\\ < m\angle\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the triangle side - angle relationship

In a triangle, the larger the length of a side, the larger the measure of the opposite angle. So we first need to determine the lengths of the sides (in terms of \(v\)) and then find the opposite angles.

The sides of \(\triangle IJK\) are: \(IJ = 15v\), \(JK=19v\), and \(IK = 20v\). Since \(v>0\), we can compare the lengths of the sides by comparing the coefficients of \(v\).

We have \(15v<19v<20v\), so \(IJ < JK

Step2: Find the opposite angles

  • The angle opposite to side \(IJ\) is \(\angle K\) (because side \(IJ\) is between \(I\) and \(J\), so the opposite angle is \(\angle K\)).
  • The angle opposite to side \(JK\) is \(\angle I\) (because side \(JK\) is between \(J\) and \(K\), so the opposite angle is \(\angle I\)).
  • The angle opposite to side \(IK\) is \(\angle J\) (because side \(IK\) is between \(I\) and \(K\), so the opposite angle is \(\angle J\)).

Since \(IJ < JK

Answer:

\(m\angle K
