Remember that angles oppose the sides. And what I mean by that is that the largest angle will opposite the largest side of the triangle and the smallest angle Is opposite the smallest side and so on. Now what do you think the answer is?

Maybe your picture isn't to scale but are you sure you typed that DE > KL ???
Because it looks like KL is a lot greater

darkknight · Answer

okay, so DE < Kl. So M and F are opposite angles of sides DE and Kl. Since Kl is greater than DE, what can you say about the relationship b/w M and F?
Remember that the largest side is opposite the largest angle and vice versa.
