Question

CD, CE, DE

Answer 1

Answer:

The order of the sides of each triangle from shortest to longest.

• CE, DE, CD

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle CDE

• C = 60°

• E = 85°

• D = 35°

We know that the longest side in a triangle is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.

as

angle D=35° < angle C=60° < angle E=85°

It means:

• The opposite side of the angle D is the shortest side which is CE.

• The second-longest side is the opposite of the angle C = 60° which is DE.

• The opposite side of the angle E i.e. CD is the largest side.

Therefore,

angle D=35° < angle C=60° < angle E=85°

CE                 <       DE           <           CD

Hence, the order of the sides of each triangle from shortest to longest.

• CE, DE, CD
