The given angles are
M = 64
N = 48
where P is unknown. While we don't know P at first, we can solve for it. Recall that for any triangle, the three angles always add to 180 degrees
M+N+P = 180
64+48+P = 180
112+P = 180
112+P-112 = 180-112
P = 68
-------------------------------------------
So in summary so far
M = 64
N = 48
P = 68
The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. The side MP is opposite the smallest angle N = 48
The longest side is going to be opposite the largest angle. In this case, side MN is opposite the largest angle P = 68
The medium side is opposite the medium angle. So NP is the medium side length
-------------------------------------------------------
Final Answers:
Shortest Side = MP
Medium Side = NP
Longest Side = MN
See the attached image for a visual summary
The ascending order would be: MP, NP, MN
Note: Something like MP is the same as PM. The order of endpoints for any given individual segment doesn't matter

Answer:
C and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Population density is the ratio of population to area. Its units are persons per square mile. Here, you're being asked to compare the population densities of several countries to the average population density in several US states.
__
<h3>average</h3>The idea of "average population density of the 10 states listed" is somewhat ambiguous. It could mean either of (a) the ratio of the total of the states' population to the total of their land area, or (b) the average of the population densities of the states. (In the attached, we computed both, but the answer remains the same using either number.)
When there are numerous identical calculations to be performed, it is convenient to let a spreadsheet do them. The attached spreadsheet shows the population densities for the 10 states and 5 countries listed.
Depending on how you define it, the average population density of the 10 states is about 10.5 or about 15.7 people per square mile. (15.7 is the average of the density numbers, found using the spreadsheet AVERAGE function.)
__
<h3>countries</h3>The 5 countries have population densities ranging from about 7.7 to 236 people per square mile. Two of the countries have density below 10.5, so are the answers to the question asked.
Canada (C) and Iceland (D) have population density below the US state average.
