Question

In δxyz, m∠x = 43° and m∠y = 44°. which list has the sides of δxyz in order from shortest to longest?

A) XY,YZ,XZ
B) YX,XZ,YZ
C) ZY,YX,XZ
D) XZ,YX,ZY

Answer 1

A) XY,YZ,XZ. The correct order of sides from shortest to longest in triangle XYZ is: XY, YZ, XZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of triangle XYZ can be determined by comparing the angle measures. In triangle XYZ, angle X is 43° and angle Y is 44°. Since angle X is smaller than angle Y, side XY is shorter than side YZ. Therefore, the correct order of sides from shortest to longest is:

1. XY
2. YZ
3. XZ
