List the sides of Triangle ABC in order from longest to shortest if the angles of Triangle ABC have the

indicated measures. (Hint: Find the angle measures first, then decide which sides are the longest.)
Given:
mZA= (9x +29)º
m/B= (9-35x)º
m/C = (10x + 2)°

Angles in a triangle add to
180^(\circ).


m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C=180^(\circ)\\\\9x+29+9-35x+10x+2=180\\\\40-16x=180\\\\-16x=140\\ \\ x=-35/4\\\\\implies m\angle A < 0

Therefore, the question is illogical.
