angle Y and angle P
angle S and angle P
angle P and angle Y
angle S and angle Y
Transcript text: In $\triangle Y P S, \overline{P S}$ is included between which angles?
$\angle Y$ and $\angle P$
$\angle S$ and $\angle P$
$\angle \mathrm{P}$ and $\angle Y$
$\angle S$ and $\angle Y$
Solution
The answer is the second one: \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).
Explanation:
In a triangle, a side is said to be "included" between two angles if it is the side that connects the vertices of those two angles.
In \(\triangle YPS\), the side \(\overline{PS}\) connects the vertices \(P\) and \(S\).
Therefore, \(\overline{PS}\) is included between \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).
Let's evaluate each option:
\(\angle Y\) and \(\angle P\): Incorrect, because \(\overline{PS}\) does not connect the vertices of \(\angle Y\) and \(\angle P\).
\(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\): Correct, because \(\overline{PS}\) connects the vertices of \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).
\(\angle P\) and \(\angle Y\): Incorrect, as it is the same as the first option, just reordered.
\(\angle S\) and \(\angle Y\): Incorrect, because \(\overline{PS}\) does not connect the vertices of \(\angle S\) and \(\angle Y\).
In summary, \(\overline{PS}\) is included between \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).
