Answer:

BC, AB, AC

Explanation:

Let's first find m∠BAC, which is 180° - ( 95° + 55° )

(interior angle theorem)

That equals 30°.

Now that we know all of the angles, we can order the sides.

Each side in a triangle is as big as its corresponding angle (opposite angle), so the bigger the opposite angle, the larger the side, and vice versa.

Since ∠BAC is the least, its corresponding side, BC will also be the smallest. Next is ∠ACB at 55°, so side AB is the medium sized side. Finally at 95°, ∠ABC is the greatest angle, putting its opposite side, AC at the greatest.
