11. In ΔPQR, if PQ = x + 2, and PR = y, which of the three angles of ΔPRQ has the greatest degree measure? (1) y = x + 3 (2) x = 2 Explanation: In any triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side. To determine the longest side it suffices to determine whether y > x + 2. Since x + 3 > x + 2, it follows from (1) that y > x + 2. Statement (1) alone is therefore sufficient. From (2) it follows that PQ = 2 and QR = 4. Thus, y can be any value between 2 and 6; it follows that y > x, but it cannot be concluded that y > x + 2. Statement (2) alone is therefore not sufficient. Therefore, statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
A. statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked; B. statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked; C. BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient; D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked; E. statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed
when u say C, you know PR =5 and PQ = 4 from those two statments,, but no angle involve so far from statement 1 alon, you know relationship between and y, so good for resolve from statement 2 alone, you know x only, no relationship between x and y, so not good for resolve
you know relationship between x and y, so good for resolve, so you know y=5 and x=2
