Question

question 2 of 5
select the correct answer.
a triangle has side lengths ( bc = 9 ), ( ab = 7 ), and ( ac = 13 ).
which angle in the triangle has the greatest measure?
( angle c )
( angle b )
cannot be determined
( angle a )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the triangle side - angle relationship

In a triangle, the larger side is opposite the larger angle.

Step2: Compare the side lengths

Given \(BC = 9\), \(AB=7\), and \(AC = 13\). We have \(AB

Step3: Determine the angle opposite the longest side

The side \(AC\) is the longest side. The angle opposite side \(AC\) is \(\angle B\) (since in \(\triangle ABC\), side \(AC\) is opposite \(\angle B\)).

Answer:

\(\angle B\)
