Chapter 5.6, Problem 21PPS
To determine

Tofind:The shorter side among MN¯andRS¯ .

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 21PPS

The length RS¯ is shorter.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given figure is

  Geometry, Student Edition, Chapter 5.6, Problem 21PPS

Formula Used:

Hinge theorem is

If two sides of a triangle correspond to two sides of another triangle, and the angle of inclination of the first triangle is greater than the angle of inclination of the second triangle, so the sides of the first triangle are longer than the sides of the third side of the second triangle.

In the figure it is given that MP=RT and NP=ST .

Given that mMPN>mRTS .

Thus, by Hinge theorem.

  MN>RS

Hence, the length RS¯ is shorter.
