List the sides of triangle WXY in order from smallest to largest.
The shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle The longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle
so would it be xy wx yw
You see, What's the smallest and the largest angle here ?
smallest angle is x and longest angle is y right?
Perfect. Here, see the opposite sides of these angles. You know that x is the largest angle , thus, the side opposite to x is the largest.
so what would be our answer?
Go on, you tell me :D
xy yw wx? right?
?
Ahm.. Would you mind making your answer a bit more clear .. ?
"smallest angle is x and longest angle is y right?" The smallest interior angle of right triangle WXY is w. w = 51 x = 90 because x is a right angle. I believe the correct answer is WX, XY, YW, though I'm not confident.
