List the sides of triangle ΔMNP in ascending order (shortest to longest) if:
m∠M = 37°, m∠P = 104°
To determine the sides of triangle ΔMNP in ascending order, we need additional information about the lengths of the sides or the relationship between the angles and the sides. The given angles alone are not sufficient to determine the side lengths.
To determine the sides of triangle ΔMNP in ascending order, we need some additional information. The given angle measures, m∠M = 37° and m∠P = 104°, alone do not provide enough information to determine the side lengths of the triangle.
In order to find the side lengths, we would need either:
1. One of the side lengths.
2. Information about another angle measure or side length.
Without this additional information, we cannot determine the sides of the triangle.
All angles add up to 180 degrees in a triangle... thus angle N = 180 - 37 - 104
= 39 degrees
If you draw a sketch you can see that the 104 degree angle is VERY wide and thus it must have a really long corresponding side so that the other two angles can be drawn...
That is the first step...
Now what do you think?
