List the sides of triangle WXY in order from smallest to largest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle The longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be xy wx yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You see, What's the smallest and the largest angle here ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

smallest angle is x and longest angle is y right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would be our answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go on, you tell me :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xy yw wx? right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahm.. Would you mind making your answer a bit more clear .. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"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.
