Question

find the sides of the triangle from smallest to largest. angle j=91. L=16,K=73

Answer 1

I also have a simluar one if AB=13 BC=9 and CA= 17 what are the angles smallest to largest

Answer 2

but I need to figure out both

Answer 3

do you have a picture, or can you draw one for the first problem ?

Answer 4

it doesn't come with one

Answer 5

I find it useful looking at a diagram.

It looks like they are using capital letters for the sides, and lower case for the angles. the angle j is assumed to be opposite side J

Answer 6

no there al capitals I made a mistake while typing

Answer 7

but its not drawn to scale

Answer 8

so all the letters are angles ?

Answer 9

that's what I think

Answer 10

in that case, the shortest leg is *opposite* the smallest angle.
and the longest leg is opposite the largest angle

Answer 11

the smallest angle is L (= 16 degrees)

what is the side opposite angle L ?

Answer 12

the side KJ is the side opposite angle L. Because angle L is the smallest angle, side KJ is the shortest leg.

what is the middle sized leg ?
what is the longest leg ?

Answer 13

the smallest sides are across from the smallest angles, so since angle L is 16 then side JK would be the smallest, and K is the middle so JL would be the second largest, and angle J is the largest so side LK is the largest
