Question

problem 6: (first taught in lesson 49) complete this sentence with the best of the choices given. if two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are __, and the angle is opposite the __ side. a b c d e not congruent; smaller; longer

Explanation:

In a triangle, the relationship between sides and angles is such that if sides are not congruent, the angles opposite them are also not congruent. By the triangle - side - angle relationship theorem, the larger angle is opposite the longer side and the smaller angle is opposite the shorter side. Since the first blank is about the non - congruent nature (as sides are not congruent), the second and third blanks follow the "smaller - longer" (or vice - versa in a sense, but based on the order of the problem structure) relationship.

Answer:

A. not congruent; smaller; longer
