The answer would be B because if you subtract the angles from each other you get the answer

Answer:


A) KJ, LK,JL

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If m∠J=56º, m∠L=29º and m∠K=95º then the legs opposed to each angle will subsequently have the correspondent measure in a proportional way.

2) Then the largest side is opposite to the largest angle, and so on.

3) Since the question asks us the other way around, from the smallest to the largest.

Then the order is from smallest to largest:
