Question

In triangle GHJ, mH = 85° and mG = 60°.

Choose the correct symbol to put in the blank.

HJ ___ JG

<
=
>

Answer 1

Answer: The correct symbol is '<'.

Explanation:

Given: In triangle GHJ

`m\angle H=85^(\circ)` and
`m\angle G=60^(\circ)`

Here angle H is opposite to side JG and angle G is opposite to side HJ

We know that,

The side opposite to the greater angle of a triangle is greater.

Since
`m\angle H> m\angle G`

Then, JG > HJ

Hence, HJ < JG
