these questions use some of the basics of triangles
the sum of the shorter sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the longest side..
the shortest side in a triangle is opposite the smallest angle

GE + ET < TG
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
keep in mind that if you have a triangle with sides x, y and z all of the following must be true
x + y > z
x + z > y
y + z > x

so wat i have is correct?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
basically, the sum of any two sides must be larger than the third side

is it "None of the answers are correct." for the second one?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m∠A < m∠B
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
the side opposite angle A is 5
the side opposite angle B is 4
So which angle is larger?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
everything else is held equal

m∠A > m∠B
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
better
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
angle B is smaller
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
since the opposite side is smaller
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oooooohhhhhhhh

this idea is definitely useful for determining/comparing distances from a long ways away (esp when you can't actually measure them)
