Mark the theorem below

  • The angle which measures biggest the opposite side of that angle is biggest.

Here

  • 8<10<12
  • JH<IH<JI

Now

  • <I < <J < <H

Answer:

least to greatest: ∠I < ∠J < ∠H

Step-by-step explanation:

angle I:

cosI =
(10^2+12^2-8^2)/(2*10*12)

I =
cos^(-1) ((3)/(4) )

I = 41.41°

angle H:

cosH =
(10^2+8^2-12^2)/(2*10*8)

H =
cos^(-1) ((1)/(8) )

H = 82.82°

angle J:

cosJ =
(8^2+12^2-10^2)/(2*8*12)

J =
cos^(-1)((9)/(16) )

J = 55.77°

They sum up to 180°, so the steps are correct.
