Question 309771: In an triangle ABC, BC > AB and AC < AB. Which of the statement is always true?
(1) angle A > angle B > angle C
(2) angle A > angle C > angle B
(3) angle B > angle A > angle C
(4) angle C > angle B > angle A
(5) angle C > angle A > angle B
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
BC > AB
AC < AB.
If AC < AB, this means that AB > AC
The two statement can therefore be equivalent to:
BC > AB
AB > AC
These two statements then become equivalent to the following one statement:
BC > AB > AC
In a triangle, if one side is greater than the other side, than the angle opposite the one side is also greater than the angle opposite the other side.
Since:
angle A is opposite BC
angle C is opposite AB
angle B is opposite AC
Then this means that:
angle A > angle C > angle B
That would be selection (2).
