Your choises are: <b <c <F The angles are congruent

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

any guess ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought they were congruent but I'm not positive

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they're not congruent. look at the pix, <F is outside the triangle, and <B and <C are inside the triangle right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F is the greater measure than.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we have a theorem that says, outside angle = sum of two remote inside angles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

according to that theorem, you're right in guessing that F is the greater measure comparedto B and C
