Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

The angles are equal, consequently the sides are __________ .

equal

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is equal.

This is because if the angles of a triangle are equal, then the sides of the triangle must also be equal. This is a property of triangles called congruent triangles.

The other options are incorrect.

• Unequal is the opposite of equal, so it does not make sense to say that the sides are unequal if the angles are equal.
• Larger and smaller do not make sense in this context because they are relative terms. The sides of a triangle can only be equal to each other, or they can be unequal.
