Question

which segment is opposite to \\( \angle j \\)?
answer
\\( \bigcirc \overline { z j } \\)
\\( \bigcirc \overline { y j } \\)
\\( \bigcirc \overline { y z } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of opposite side in a triangle

In a triangle, the side opposite an angle is the side that does not form the angle.

Step2: Identify the sides forming \(\angle J\)

The sides forming \(\angle J\) are \(\overline{ZJ}\) and \(\overline{YJ}\).

Step3: Determine the side opposite \(\angle J\)

Since \(\overline{ZJ}\) and \(\overline{YJ}\) form \(\angle J\), the side opposite \(\angle J\) is \(\overline{YZ}\).

Answer:

\(\overline{YZ}\)
