Answer:

D) ∠T, ∠R, ∠S, RS, ST, RT

Explanation:

Given ∆RST with RS=23.7 cm, ST=35 cm, TR=48 cm, you want the angles and sides listed in increasing order.

Side lengths

In increasing order, the side lengths are ...

23.7 < 35 < 48

The corresponding names of these sides are RS, ST, RT.

The last answer choice lists the sides in this order.

Angles

Angles, least to greatest, are opposite the least-to-greatest sides. The angle vertex is the triangle vertex not listed in the side name:

shortest side RS is opposite smallest angle T

longest side RT is opposite largest angle S

Hence, the angles in order are ∠T, ∠R, ∠S. (matches the last choice)
