The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding triangle PQR with sides PQ = 4 cm, PR = 6 cm, and QR = 3 cm, we will analyze the relationship between the angles based on the lengths of the sides. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the sides of the triangle**: - PQ = 4 cm - PR = 6 cm - QR = 3 cm 2. **Determine the longest and shortest sides**: - The longest side is PR (6 cm). - The shortest side is QR (3 cm). 3. **Apply the triangle inequality theorem**: - In any triangle, the angle opposite the longest side is the largest angle, and the angle opposite the shortest side is the smallest angle. - Therefore, angle Q (opposite side PR) is the largest angle, and angle P (opposite side QR) is the smallest angle. 4. **Rank the angles**: - Since PR is the longest side, angle Q is the largest. - Since QR is the shortest side, angle P is the smallest. - Angle R, which is opposite side PQ (4 cm), will be in between angle Q and angle P. 5. **Establish the relationships**: - We can conclude that: - Angle Q > Angle R > Angle P 6. **Evaluate the options given**: - Option 1: Angle Q = Angle R (False) - Option 2: Angle R < Angle P (False) - Option 3: Angle R > Angle Q (False) - Option 4: Angle Q > Angle R (True) ### Conclusion: The correct relationship is that angle Q is greater than angle R, which corresponds to option 4.
