Required Answer:-
GiveN:
- A triangle PMN whose two of the exterior angles are x and y.
- x > y
To Prove:
- MP > NP
Step-by-step Explanation:
We have,
• x > y
Multiplying -1 both sides, and Remember! Whenever we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.
➛ -x < -y
Now add 180° both sides,
➛ 180° - x < 180° - y
And in the figure, we can see that ∠PMN = 180° - x and ∠PNM = 180° - y. Hence,
➛ ∠PMN < ∠PNM
We know, The longest side in a triangle is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. ∠PMN is opposite to NP and ∠PNM is opposite to MP
Thus:-
➛ PN < PM
Hence proved!!
Solution:-
Given:
- A triangle with exterior angles x and y.
- ∠x > ∠y
To prove:
- MP > NP
Proof:
Given,
➡ ∠x > ∠y
Multiplying both sides by -1, We get,
➡ -∠x < -∠y
Adding 180° to both sides, We get,
➡ 180° - ∠x > 180° - ∠y
From figure,
180° - ∠x = ∠PMN and 180° - ∠y = ∠PNM
Therefore,
➡ ∠PMN < ∠PNM
We know that,
- The longest side of a triangle is opposite to the longest angle and,
- The shortest side of a triangle is opposite to the shortest angle.
Here, ∠PMN is opposite to NP.
Also, ∠PNM is opposite to MP.
So,
➡ NP < MP
➡ MP > NP (Hence Proved)
