Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
1. Order the side lengths from least to greatest.
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram is of a triangle labeled with vertices A, B, and C. The angles within the triangle are also labeled as follows:
- Angle at vertex A = 40 degrees
- Angle at vertex B = 102 degrees
- Angle at vertex C = 38 degrees
**Explanation:**
In a triangle, the side lengths are directly related to the opposite angles.
- The side opposite the smallest angle (38 degrees at C) is the shortest.
- The side opposite the medium angle (40 degrees at A) is of medium length.
- The side opposite the largest angle (102 degrees at B) is the longest.
By analyzing the given angles, we can correctly order the side lengths:
- The shortest side is opposite the angle at C (38 degrees).
- The side of medium length is opposite the angle at A (40 degrees).
- The longest side is opposite the angle at B (102 degrees).
Thus, the side lengths in order from least to greatest are:
1. Side opposite angle C.
2. Side opposite angle A.
3. Side opposite angle B.
