Question

In ΔNOP, m∠N = 110° and m∠O = 38°. Which list has the sides of ΔNOP in order from longest to shortest?

Answer 1

The largest side is OP.

Explanation:

ΔNOP, m∠N = 110° and m∠O = 38°

According to he property of the triangle, the sum of all the angles of the triangle is 180°,

So,

m∠N + m∠O + m∠P = 180°

110° + 38° + m∠P = 180°

m∠P = 32°

The side opposite to the largest angle is largest.

Here the largest angle is m∠N so the largest side is OP.
