ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Find that. Next use this :- Side opposite to smallest angle is the shortest.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use triangle sum property to find that angle z + 50 + 70 = 180 z = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

z=50 @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

check again :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

z + 50 + 70 = 180 z + 120 = 180 z = 60

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
