Question

List the sides of ∆XYZ in order from shortest to longest if m∠X = 51, m∠Y = 59, and m∠Z = 70

Answer 1

Explanation:

Angles and sides go hand-in-hand. Although I don't see the actual triangle that's used, and that can affect my answer, the side opposite of the shortest angle will be the shortest, the side opposite of the middle angle will be the middle, and the side opposite the largest angle will be the largest. For example, if the shortest angle (m∠X = 51) is the top vertex, the base side will be the shortest.
