# Question 35727: Side Opposite a Vertex

[Return to catalogue page 179](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/page/179/)

[← Question derivation index](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/) · [Original question batch](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/practice/batch-20260925-triangle-object-language/#q-20260925-triangle-opposite-side-0022)

This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth.

R0070-35727 · q-20260925-triangle-opposite-side-0022



## Original question and givens

Triangle MOQ has explicitly distinct noncollinear vertices. Which undirected side is opposite vertex M?


- G001 — Triangle MOQ has explicitly distinct noncollinear vertices. Which undirected side is opposite vertex M?





## Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

## Step-by-step derivation

S001 · impliesBefore

source roles = [qf-triangle-opposite-side, [noncollinear, operation, vertex, vertices]]

After

derived = [triangle, opposite_side, null]

Conditions: none

Use THIS bank’s actual fields,operation/domain and types.BASE retains permissible extra metadata.Do not import LDL SAFE/set limits or a different bank’s deduplication rules.

S002 · impliesBefore

source roles = [[M, O, Q], Yes]

After

derived = [[M, O, Q], Yes, Yes]

Conditions: none

THIS nondegenerate triangle requires DISTINCT vertices AND GIVEN noncollinearity.Repeated points plus asserted noncollinearity is contradictory.Neither letter names nor a sketch proves noncollinearity.

S003 · impliesBefore

source roles = [M, O]

After

derived = [MO]

Conditions: none

EACH unordered pair of distinct vertices defines ONE side.Endpoint sorting is canonical notation only;do not double-count reversed edges or infer lengths.

S004 · impliesBefore

source roles = [M, Q]

After

derived = [MQ]

Conditions: none

EACH unordered pair of distinct vertices defines ONE side.Endpoint sorting is canonical notation only;do not double-count reversed edges or infer lengths.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: Triangle_EACH_unordered_distinct_endpoint_pair · Uses: G001, S003





S005 · impliesBefore

source roles = [O, Q]

After

derived = [OQ]

Conditions: none

EACH unordered pair of distinct vertices defines ONE side.Endpoint sorting is canonical notation only;do not double-count reversed edges or infer lengths.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: Triangle_EACH_unordered_distinct_endpoint_pair · Uses: G001, S004





S006 · impliesBefore

source roles = [M, [M, O, Q]]

After

derived = [[O, Q], OQ]

Conditions: none

The OPPOSITE side joins the TWO vertices remaining after removing the GIVEN vertex.First require that vertex to belong;an incident side is not opposite.

## Result

OQ

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
