Angle G is larger than angle P.
Angle G is congruent to angle N.

2Consider the triangle.
Which statement is true about the lengths of the sides?

Each side has a different length.

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

#1) Angle G is smaller than angle P; #2) The three sides have the same length; #3) The path along XY is longer than the path along ZY, and the path along ZY is longer than the path along AB.

Explanation:

#1) Since the measure of HK is smaller than the measure of MN, this means the angle opposite HK will be smaller than the angle opposite MN. This means ∠G is smaller than ∠P.

#2) Since all of the angles are congruent, all of the sides will be congruent as well.

#3) The side opposite the largest angle will be longest; the side opposite the smallest angle will be shortest. This means the side opposite the 36° angle, AB, will be smallest, and the side opposite the 79° angle, XY, will be largest. ZY will have a length between these two.
