  1. Identify longest side: Identify the longest side of the triangle to determine the largest angle, using the triangle inequality theorem.
  2. Determine largest angle: According to the triangle inequality theorem, the angle opposite the longest side is the largest. Therefore, angle EE is the largest.
  3. Compare remaining sides: Next, compare the remaining sides to order the smaller angles. Since mEFmEF (66 inches) is shorter than mDEmDE (88 inches), angle DD is smaller than angle FF.
  4. List angles in order: List the angles in order from smallest to largest: D\angle D, F\angle F, E\angle E.
