Hoping someone could help me with this question. This is the homework from Quant Strategy Session 2.
The answer is Quantity B because according to Pythagorean equation x^2 + y^2 = z^2 when the angle is 90 degrees; therefore z^2 must be larger in this case, since the angle is >90 degrees
However, couldn’t I infer that the angle for y and x is say 40 degrees, so 100:40:40. And in that case, couldn’t I infer length z is 8, and length y and x is 6 (triangle inequality theorem holds since 6+6 >8).
With this in mind, x^2 + y^2 > z^2 : 36 + 36 > 64.
In short, isnt the answer D instead of B?
Appreciate any guidance.
