list the sides of the triangle from shortest to longest

first find m. the 3 sides add up to 180 so 180-75-45=m can you do that? find m?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y sad face nin?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

ask @timo86m why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60.... and y

ty nin but im trying to avoid trig as much as possible

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no need to use trig, just use this facts the longest side will always be opposite the largest angle the shortest side will always be opposite the smallest angle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

these facts*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty guys!!!

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

which is certainly true, but we can't tell the exactness of their lengths with just three angles, therefore making it impossible to prove that one side is longer than others listen to @jim_thompson5910 I am a newb compares to him in math LUL

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you needed to find the lengths, then yes you'd use trig but we just want to list the sides from shortest to longest and we really don't care about the actual lengths of any of the 3 sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol how about naming angles from smallest to largest if AB=9AC=11C=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ab= 9 ac= 11 bc=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):
