The larger an angle is which is opposite from a side, the larger that opposite side will be. (picture it mentally, if you were to stretch the angle and spread the two legs of the triangle, the distance between the two legs would get larger) So naturally, you would assume 185 is the correct answer based on what i just said, but a triangle can have a maximum of 180 degrees as the sum of the three angles, meaning its impossible to have a 185 degree angle in the triangle So the answer would be 105 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I get it! So you want it as close to 180 as possible but not over it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because if It were 185 degrees, the interior angle would have been 5 degrees which is really small

OpenStudy (scorcher219396):

Well, the sum of the other two interior angles would have had to be -5 degrees, which is obviously impossible

Alrighty! thanks for your help!

Sure! No problem
