Question

in δwxy, xy = 16, yw = 17, and wx = 15. which list has the angles of δwxy in order from largest to smallest? answer attempt 1 out of 2 m∠w, m∠y, m∠x m∠x, m∠y, m∠w m∠y, m∠x, m∠w m∠y, m∠w, m∠x m∠w, m∠x, m∠y m∠x, m∠w, m∠y

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - side relationship

In a triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side and the smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.

Step2: Identify side lengths

Given $XY = 16$, $YW=17$, and $WX = 15$. The longest side is $YW$, the middle - length side is $XY$, and the shortest side is $WX$.

Step3: Determine opposite angles

The angle opposite $YW$ is $\angle X$, the angle opposite $XY$ is $\angle W$, and the angle opposite $WX$ is $\angle Y$.

Step4: Order angles

So the angles from largest to smallest are $\angle X$, $\angle W$, $\angle Y$, or $m\angle X$, $m\angle W$, $m\angle Y$.

Answer:

$m\angle X$, $m\angle W$, $m\angle Y$
