find the shortest side of $\\triangle qrs$.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate angle at S
The sum of angles in a triangle is (180^\circ). So, (\angle S = 180^\circ - 61^\circ - 62^\circ) (\angle S = 180 - 123 = 57^\circ)
Step2: Relate angles to sides
In a triangle, the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. The angles are: (\angle R = 61^\circ), (\angle Q = 62^\circ), (\angle S = 57^\circ). The smallest angle is (\angle S = 57^\circ), which is opposite side (QR).
Answer:
The shortest side of (\triangle QRS) is (QR).
