Useful property: In a triangle, the side OPPOSITE a larger angle is longer than the side OPPOSITE the smaller angle
Opposite angles are equal, so ∠POQ is also 43°
Since we're told ∠POR = 90°, we can conclude that ∠QOR = 47°
Since angles in a triangle add to 180°, we can conclude that ∠OQR = 43°
∠QOR is greater than ∠OQR
So, the side OPPOSITE ∠QOR (QR) must be greater than the side OPPOSITE ∠OQR (OR)
In other words, QR > OR
Answer: B

The answer is wrong but the concept is correct
Opposite angles are equal so <POQ = 43
<QOR = 90 - 43 = 47
Also <OQR = 180 - (90+47) = 43
Hence, from the scenario opposite side of the greater angle has greatest length
QR > OR
The answer is B
Opposite angles are equal so <POQ = 43
<QOR = 90 - 43 = 47
Also <OQR = 180 - (90+47) = 43
Hence, from the scenario opposite side of the greater angle has greatest length
QR > OR
The answer is B
