Math Problem Statement
Which of the following statements is correct?
Solution
To determine the correct option, we need to understand the relationship between the angles and the sides in triangle .
In any triangle, the side opposite the largest angle is the longest, and the side opposite the smallest angle is the shortest. Given:
Since is the largest angle (75°), the side opposite it, which is , will be the longest side. Similarly, since is the smallest angle (45°), the side opposite it, which is , will be the shortest side. This gives us the following side length order:
The correct option is the first choice:
