Question on Triangles

by rohansingal Wed Nov 18, 2009 5:45 pm

Hi,

I have a question regarding triangles/angles?

If a triangle has one angle that is 50 degrees and another angle that is 25 degrees, will the side opposite the 50 degree angle be twice as long as the side opposite the 25 degree angle?

Best,
Rohan

Thanks, Ben.

Rohan (and others), please do not post the same post in multiple folders. People already wait a long time for responses because forum traffic is so high. If people post the same post in multiple folders and different instructors see the post, we will end up responding to the same thing multiple times - and other students will wait longer to get just one reply. Thanks.
