I'm going to say A.

Without knowing the proper rules, I can tell that smaller angle leads to a longer line.
2. Doesn't tell me which angle is larger.

What do the experts say.

You mean smaller angle has a smaller line opposite it? I was thinking that too, because it is the rule for triangles. but then ofcourse the confused me picked a different answer because I was not sure about applying this rule here. Well the answer is A.

thanks

Yes , A

X and Y are acute angles.
The smaller of X and Y will lead to an longer line.

A Tells us which one is larger . Suff
B Insuff for obivious reasons.

well actually line opposite x or y will be the same length perpendicular line from PS to QR, so I don't think this rule will apply here.
