Solution
In a triangle, the relative lengths of sides are determined by the relative sizes of the opposite angles:
- The largest side is opposite the largest angle.
- The smallest side is opposite the smallest angle.
- The middle side is opposite the middle angle.
Here, based on your given:
AC < AB < BC
This implies:
∠B is the largest angle (opposite the largest side AC).
∠C is the smallest angle (opposite the smallest side AB).
∠A is the middle angle (opposite side BC).
Final ordering of sides (Ascending): AC < AB < BC
