Answer:

Angle W is greater than angle Y

Explanation:

The angles in the triangles when solved are given as follows;

∠Y = 14.57

∠X = 135.23

∠W = 30.2

Angle W is greater than angle Y

This is Correct

Angle Y is the largest angle

This is Incorrect

Angle X is smaller than angle W

This is Incorrect

Angle W is the smallest angle.

This is Incorrect
