What is the quality of the triad if the interval between the root and third is m3 and the interval between the third and fifth is M3? (1 point) Responses major major minor minor augmented augmented diminished

Answer 1

The quality of the triad you are describing is a major triad.

In a major triad:

• The interval from the root to the third is a major third (M3).
• The interval from the third to the fifth is a minor third (m3).

However, in your question, you mentioned the interval between the root and third is a minor third (m3), which is not correct. Thus, it should be clarified.

If you truly have a minor third (m3) from the root to the third and a major third (M3) from the third to the fifth, then the triad would be a minor triad.

To sum up:

• If the interval from root to third is a minor third (m3) and from third to fifth is a major third (M3) → it is a minor triad.
• If the interval from root to third is a major third (M3) and from third to fifth is a minor third (m3) → it is a major triad.

Based on your original information, it seems you're describing a minor triad.
