Question

(G.5.a, 1pt) Part of a marching band formed a triangle made with trumpet players on one side, clarinet players on one side, and flute players on the third side. The angle formed by the trumpet and flute players measured 45°. The angle formed by the flute and clarinet players measured 68°. Order the sides of this triangle from least to greatest using the instrument names. O A. clarinet, flute, trumpet B. clarinet, trumpet, flute C. trumpet, flute, clarinet O D. flute, trumpet, clarinet

Answer 1

The situation can be sketched in the following diagram.

The angles are in the following order

68 > 67 > 45.

Here are some facts about the relationship between angles and triangles:

The shortest side is always opposite the smallest angle.

The longest side is always opposite the largest angle.

Hence, the smallest side is that of the Clarinet and the longest side is that of the trumpet; therefore, the sides ordered from least to greatest are

Clarinet, Flute, Trumpet.
