In the triangles, and . which statement correctly compares the angles? angle g is congruent to angle p. angle g is smaller than angle p. angle g is larger than angle p. angle g is congruent to angle n.

B) Angle G is smaller than angle P.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's logic, the only way the hypotenuse could be shorter is if the angle opposite of it is more acute.

I know that's a mouthful and probably sounds really weird but just trust me.

Would appreciate brainliest, new to good luck!

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
