I think I can rule out a few answer choices, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to solve this. I'm slightly confused.

anonymous · Answer

Is it the last choice?

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure. They seem to have the same distance, just different angles.

anonymous · Answer

Yes, but the other side lengths are the same. 
So we can say that, 
Side opposite to a larger angle is greater in length.

anonymous · Answer

* The other two side lengths of their respective triangles.

anonymous · Answer

Oh, okay! So it would be the last one.

anonymous · Answer

Yep. :)
