Question 392710: I have a diagram. with this information.
A triangle, with a on the bottom left, c on the top middle, and b on the bottom right. line AC = 7 line CB = 8 Line AB = 9.
The question is.
name the smallest angle, largest angle, and write an inequality comparing all three angles, then list the sides in order from shortest to longest.

All you have to know is that 

The angle across the triangle from the longest side is the largest angle.
The angle across the triangle from the middle-sized side is the middle-sized angle.
The angle across the triangle from the shortest side is the  smallest angle.

Since

7 < 8 < 9

then angles

B < A < C

because opposite sides

AC < CB < AB
