The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the relationship between the lengths of the sides of triangle PQR based on the angles given. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Angles**: - Angle P = 75° - Angle Q = 35° - Angle R = 70° 2. **Determine the Largest Angle**: - Among the angles, 75° (Angle P) is the largest angle. 3. **Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem**: - The side opposite the largest angle is the longest side. - Therefore, the side opposite Angle P (which is side QR) will be the longest side. 4. **Identify the Sides Opposite Each Angle**: - Side QR is opposite Angle P (75°). - Side PR is opposite Angle Q (35°). - Side PQ is opposite Angle R (70°). 5. **Rank the Sides Based on the Angles**: - Since QR is opposite the largest angle (75°), it is the longest side. - The next largest angle is 70° (Angle R), which means side PQ is the second longest. - The smallest angle is 35° (Angle Q), which means side PR is the shortest. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the above reasoning, we can conclude that: - QR > PQ > PR ### Final Answer: - Therefore, the correct relationship is that QR is the longest side, followed by PQ, and PR is the shortest side.
