Question

problem 9: (first taught in lesson 49) in △cds, cd = 16, cs = 12, and ds = 8. which is the smallest angle of the triangle? after you enter your answer press go. ∠

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the triangle - side - angle relationship

In a triangle, the smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.

Step2: Identify the shortest side

Given \(CD = 16\), \(CS=12\), and \(DS = 8\). The shortest side is \(DS = 8\).

Step3: Determine the angle opposite the shortest side

The angle opposite side \(DS\) is \(\angle C\).

Answer:

\(\angle C\)
