First we need to find the value of x

Remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle must be 180

(9x+3) +(5x-2)+(11x-21)=180

25 x - 20 = 180

x=8

the angle E =9(8)+3=75

the angle F= 11(8)-21=67

the angle D= 5(8)-2=38

the shortest side is EF

the longest side is DF

DF > DE >EF

the statements that are true are

d and e
