OpenStudy (anonymous):

still there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 sec

OpenStudy (aravindg):

PR, MP, MR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you figure it out?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

70 is the biggest angle so the longest side will be PR

OpenStudy (aravindg):

only option that satisfies this is first option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the biggest angle 75 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you find the angles P and R?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Obviously angle M is 70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R is 180 (cause its flat) - (60 + 85)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P = 180 - (R+M)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so P = 70 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70 + 35 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get the 35 from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 - (60 + 85) :) thats the R of your triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand how you get R, which makes P 75 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and like Aravind said now that you know your angle you just go from the biggest to the smallest and the sides that are opposed to those angles are the biggest !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is MR PR MP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct !
