Question

List the angles of the triangle in order from smallest to largest measure.

Answer 1

G, I, H

Explanation:

6 and 4 force H to be the largest and G to be the smallest.

Answer 2

Answer: G, H, I

For any right triangle, the 90 degree angle is always the largest. The longest side of a triangle is always opposite the largest angle. Similarly, the shortest side of a triangle is always opposite the smallest angle.

Angle G is opposite side HI = 4 which is the smallest side, so angle G is the smallest angle.

Angle H is the middle angle as this is the longer leg, but it is not longer than the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side.
