In triangle XYZ, m∠Z > m∠X + m∠Y. Which must be true about △XYZ?
m∠X + m∠Z < 90°
m∠Y > 90°
∠X and∠Y are complementary
m∠X + m∠Y < 90°
Solution:
Given, XYZ is a triangle.
We have to find the option that is true about △XYZ.
By angle sum property of a triangle,
The sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°.
So, ∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°
Given, m∠Z > m∠X + m∠Y.
This implies that ∠Z is greater than the sum of the angles ∠X and ∠Y.
So, ∠X + ∠Y must be less than 90°.
Therefore, ∠X + ∠Y < 90°
In triangle XYZ, m∠Z > m∠X + m∠Y. Which must be true about △XYZ?
Summary:
In triangle XYZ, m∠Z > m∠X + m∠Y. m∠X + m∠Y < 90°must be true about △XYZ.
