Consider Theorem 5.10 about Angle-Side Relationships in Triangles.
Angles: ∠L, ∠P, ∠M
Sides: PM, ML, PL
On the diagram, we are given the measures of all the angles in â–³ MPL.
We can see that ∠L is the smallest angle, followed by ∠P and then ∠M.

Angle-Side Relationships in Triangles |
|
If one angle of a triangle has a greater measure than another angle, then the side opposite the greater angle is longer than the side opposite the lesser angle. |
Now, considering this theorem, we will look for the corresponding opposite sides. cc Angle & Opposite Side [0.5em] ∠L & PM [0.5em] ∠P & ML [0.5em] ∠M & PL Therefore, we can list the sides in order from smallest to largest. PM < ML < PL
