Question

In triangle QRS, angle Q measures 33.7°, angle R measures 52.3°, and angle S measures 94°. Based on the information that is provided, which could be a correct set of sides for this set of angles?

side QR = 7 cm , side RS = 10 cm , side QS = 12.6 cm
side QR = 10 cm, side RS = 7 cm, side QS = 12.6 cm
side QR = 12.6 cm, side RS = 10 cm, side QS = 7 cm
side QR = 12.6 cm, side RS = 7 cm, side QS = 10 cm

Answer 1

side QR = 12.6 cm, side RS = 7 cm, side QS = 10 cm

Explanation:

The side opposite to biggest angle is the longest side

In ΔQRS,

∠S > ∠R > ∠Q

∠S is the biggest and ∠ Q is the smallest angle.

So, the side opposite to ∠S, QR is the longest side and the side opposite o ∠Q , RS is the smallest side.

QR > QS > RS

QR = 12.6 cm ; QS = 10 cm and RS = 7 cm
