Exercise 45 Page 432

Remember that if one angle of a triangle has a greater measure than another angle, then the side opposite the greater angle is longer than the side opposite the lesser angle.

Example Solution: AB=8; Since m∠ C=62^(∘) > 34 = m∠ B we have that AB > AC. Therefore, the measure of AB must be greater than 6. So, a sample answer could be AB=8.

Practice makes perfect
Let's check the given diagram.

We can see that m ∠ C=62^(∘) > 34 = m ∠ B, which implies that AB > AC. Therefore, the measure of AB must be greater than 6. So, a sample answer could be AB=8. Keep in mind that your answer may vary.
