Step-by-step explanation

To begin with, we will first have to obtain the length of side VX


VX^2=WX^2+VW^2-2* WX* VWcosw

In our case


\begin{gathered} WX=28t \\ VW=95t \\ w=94^0 \end{gathered}

Thus


\begin{gathered} VX^2=(28t)^2+(95t)^2-2*(28t*95t)cos94 \\ \\ VX^2=784+9025+371.104 \\ VX^2=100180.10 \\ \\ VX=100.90t \end{gathered}

Next, we will determine the angles at V and X

using sine rule


\begin{gathered} (sin94)/(100.9t)=(sinV)/(28t) \\ \\ sinV=(28t* sin94)/(100.9t) \\ \\ sinV=0.27683 \\ \\ V=16.07^0 \\ \end{gathered}

Then, we will get the measure at X


180^0-16.07^0-94=69.93^0

Therefore, the order from smallest to largest angles will be

m

OR

m
