Question

In triangle VUW the measure of angle V equals (15y+9), the measure of angle U equals (22y+8),and the measure of angle W equals (14y+10) . Which side length is the smallest?

Answer 1

angle W 14y+10= 52
angle U 22y+8= 74
angle V 15y+9= 54
the side opposite angle W will be the smallest
I got this by adding all the angles and making them equal to 180. then solving for X which is 3 . after knowing x you solve for each angle and then you can decide by the degree of each angle what side is the smallest
