Answer: The sides from smallest to largest are RT, RS, ST

================================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing angle is R = 70 degrees. This is because R+S+T = 180. We plug in S = 50 and T = 60 to get R = 70.

Once you know all three angles, you can determine which side is the shortest and which is the longest.

The 2 rules are these:

  • The smallest side is always opposite the smallest angle.
  • The largest side is always opposite the largest side.

This applies to triangles only.

Since R = 70 is the largest angle, this makes the opposite side ST as the longest side. Then we have S = 50 as the smallest angle, so RT is the shortest side as it's opposite this smallest angle.
