Really quick (and probably simple) question

[Guest]

My proof say :

1)Circle O with meas. of angle B > the meas. of angle C 1) Given
2)____________?__________________ 2) If two angles of a triangle are not ~ then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle.
3) The meas. of arc AC > the meas. of arc AB 3) If in the same circle, two chords are not ~ then the longer chord determines the larger arc.

( im not sure how to show a picture of the circle, but it's basically a triangle inside of a circle with points A,B and C and O as the circle's center)

Thanks to anyone who can help me on this one!!!!! (in advance)

OK: easy enough to draw a circle and a triangle inside it
with vertices on the circumference; BUT: what are you asking?

Can you rewrite that CLEARLY?

Ok... im not sure what to put in #2. The theorem says that if two angles of a triangle are not congruent then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the opposite the shorter angle......Am i supposed to write out two sides or two angles?

(angle>angle or side>side ???????????) i hope this is clear enough

Thank you

Without seeing the diagram, it is really hard to follow what you are doing.
Remember some consequences of the ‘hinge theorem’.
The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle.
The longest chord subtends the largest minor arc.
Draw the figure. Label the arcs, sides if the inscribed triangle.
See which of the above applies.

At the top of the page is a tab labeled “FORUM HELP”.
On it is explained how to insert a diagram in your question.
