In a triangle the smallest angel is always going to be opposite the smallest side, this becomes quite clear with a quick diagram. It's exaggerated just to make it clear. |dw:1393032639902:dw| So with your question the smallest side is XY which would make the angle opposite that the smallest.

XY?

Sorry, in your question the shortest side is side XY right? Therefore the angle opposite that is the smallest angle, which would be angle Z |dw:1393034137061:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, it's B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, angle Z is the smallest, so option B
