Let's measure the length of the sides of the following triangles and let's compare the measurement of the angles.



(i) The given triangle is as shown below:

Given PQ=2.5cm, QR=3.5cm, PR=4cm
To find the ∠P is greater than which angle.
In the given ΔPQR,
∠P is opposite to side QR,
And from the given values, side QR=3.5cm is greater than side PQ=2.5cm
Now from the given figure, ∠R is opposite to the side PQ.
⇒ QR>PQ
We know in a triangle the shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle and the longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle.
⇒ ∠P>∠R
Hence ∠P is greater than ∠R.
(ii) The given triangle is as shown below:

Given XY=4cm, YZ=5cm, XZ=6cm
To find the ∠x is greater than which angle.
In the given ΔXYZ,
∠X is opposite to side YZ,
And from the given values, side YZ=5cm is greater than side XY=4cm
Now from the given figure, ∠Z is opposite to the side XY.
⇒ YZ>XY
We know in a triangle the shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle and the longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle.
⇒ ∠X>∠Z
Hence ∠X is greater than ∠Z.
(iii) The given triangle is as shown below:

Given AB=4cm, BC=5cm, CA=3cm
To find the ∠C is greater than which angle.
In the given ΔABC,
∠C is opposite to side AB,
And from the given values, side AB=4cm is greater than side AC=3cm
Now from the given figure, ∠B is opposite to the side AC.
⇒ AB>AC
We know in a triangle the shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle and the longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle.
⇒ ∠C>∠B
Hence ∠C is greater than ∠B.
