Math Problem Statement

List the angles of the triangle in order from smallest to largest based on the given sides. Choose the correct option.

Solution

To determine the correct order of angles from smallest to largest in the given triangle, we will use the relationship between sides and angles of a triangle:

Key Concept:

In any triangle:

  • The smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.
  • The largest angle is opposite the longest side.

Given:

  • Side AB=6.1AB = 6.1 (longest side)
  • Side AC=4.3AC = 4.3
  • Side BC=2.8BC = 2.8 (shortest side)

Opposite Angles:

  • Angle CC is opposite side AB=6.1AB = 6.1 (largest angle).
  • Angle AA is opposite side BC=2.8BC = 2.8 (smallest angle).
  • Angle BB is opposite side AC=4.3AC = 4.3 (middle angle).

Order of Angles (Smallest to Largest):

  1. A\angle A (smallest)
  2. B\angle B
  3. C\angle C (largest)

Correct Option:

The correct answer is C: C,A,B\angle C, \angle A, \angle B.
