Notice that these two obtuse triangles have two sides that are equal, but the angle in between them is NOT the same. Therefore, the segment that opposes the different obtuse angles cannot be equal.

What we can say is that the segment that opposes the LARGER angle (114 degrees) must be LARGER than the segment that opposes the smaller angle (113 degrees) Therefore we can type:

segment MN > segment KL
