Question

Order the side from greatest to least.

Η.
28°
118°
K
J
side [Select ]

Answer 1

HJ>KJ>HK

Explanation:

Side opposite to the largest angle is the largest.

Side opposite to smallest angle is the smallest.

ang K = 118° ang J = 28°

ang K + ang J + ang H = 180° (Sum of all the angles in the triangle is 180°)

118°+28°+angH=180° (Putting the values of ang K & ang J)

146°+angH=180°

ang H=180°-146°

ang H=34°

128°>34°>28°

ang K>ang H>ang J

Here, ang K is the largest, so the side opposite to it i.e. HJ will be the largest side.

Smaller than ang K and bigger than ang J is ang H, so the side opposite to it i.e. KJ will be smaller than HJ but bigger than HK.

Ang J is the smallest angle, so the side opposite to it i.e. HK will be the smallest.

HJ>KJ>HK.
