Kudos for the right answer and explanation
We know that:
x+y<180 (since sum of all 3 angles of a triangle equals
180o)
Quantity A:
358−2(x+y)Quantity B:
180−(x+y)We need to compare:
358−2(x+y) VS
180−(x+y)Adding
2(x+y) to both sides:
358 VS
180+(x+y)Since
(x+y)<180, we have:
180+(x+y)<180+180=360Thus, we need to compare:
358 VS
Quantity less than 360# Quantity B here could be 359 => Quantity B is greater than Quantity A
# Quantity B here could be 358 => Quantity B is equal to Quantity A
# Quantity B here could be 357 => Quantity B is smaller than Quantity A
Thus, there is no relation
