To determine the smallest and longest sides of a triangle, we typically rely on either the triangle's side lengths or angle measures. The key rules are:

1. Smallest Side: The smallest side of a triangle is opposite the smallest angle.
2. Longest Side: The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle.

In this case, please provide the angle or side measurements if available in the image or description, so I can help determine the smallest and longest sides.

If measurements are available:

• i) Identify the side opposite the smallest angle (for the smallest side).
• ii) Identify the side opposite the largest angle (for the longest side).

Would you like a more detailed example based on possible measurements?
