Answer:

C, B, A

Explanation:

From smallest to largest, the side lengths are ...

  • AB = c = m -2
  • AC = b = m
  • BC = a = m +4

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, so the angles, smallest to largest, are C, B, A.

Comment on side naming

Side c is opposite vertex (and angle) C, so is between vertices A and B. Thus the names AB and c are both names for the side of the triangle opposite angle C.
