Answer:


KL<JL<JK

Explanation:

In a triangle there's an specific relation between angles and sides.

Specifically, the greats an angle is, the greatest is its opposite side.

So, in this case
45\° < 57\° < 78\° by givens.

Now, the opposite side of each angle is


45\°:KL\\57\°:JL\\78\° : JK

This means that the order of sides from shortest to longest is


KL<JL<JK

Because the least angle has the shortest opposite side and the greatest angle has the longest opposite side.
