Answer:

IH < IG < HG

Explanation:

To solve this equation remember that angle measurements correspond with sides. So, the largest angle will be opposite of the longest side and the smallest angle will be opposite of the shortest side.

First, you need to find m<I; do this by subtracting 52 and 45 from 180. This means that m<I=83, making it the largest angle. Therefore, the angles, in order of least to greatest, are <G, <H, <I. So, to find the final answer, find the sides opposite of each of the angles. This means the answer is IH < IG < HG.
