Question

Find the angle with the smallest measure in △ VUW. Name the angle using three letters

Answer 1

∠VUW

Explanation:

A triangle is a three sided polygon with three angles. Types of triangles are obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and so on.

In triangle VUW, since VU = WU, hence it is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, two sides of the triangle are equal.

The size of an angle depends on its opposite side, the higher the opposite side the higher the angle. Since In triangle VUW, VU = 9, WU = 9, VW = 5. Since VW is the smallest side, the angle opposite to VW is the smallest angle.

Hence the smallest angle = ∠VUW
