Question

In triangle NAP, measure of N= 45 and the measure of A= 70. Which statement best describes triangle NAP?

1. Segment NA is the longest side
2. Segment NP is the longest side
3. Segment AP is the longest side
4. Segment AP and segment NP are the longest sides and are congruent

Answer 1

2. NP is the longest side

Explanation:

I assume the messages of N and A are degrees if the angles there.

angle A = 70°

angle N = 45°

that means

angle P = 180 - 70 - 45 = 65°

because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

and that means A is the largest angle, and its opposite side is therefore the longest in the triangle.

the side opposite of A is NP.
