Chapter 13, Problem 6STP

To determine

For the right triangle RST shown below find the correct order of angles $m\angle R,m\angle S\text{ and }m\angle T$ .

  

Answer to Problem 6STP

The option (J) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The given right triangle RST is shown as,

  

Calculation: From the right triangle RST the measure of sides are $RS=3.9yd,ST=5.4yd\text{and }TR=9yd$ . Since the angle opposite to largest side will be largest therefore from triangle RST, $TR>ST>RS$ . Hence it can be concluded that $m\angle S>m\angle R>m\angle T$ . So option (J) is correct.
