To determine the correct order of the side lengths from largest to smallest, we need to use the angles of the triangle.
In triangle ABC, A = 65°, B = 80°, and C = 35°. Let's label the side lengths as follows:
- Side opposite angle A = l
- Side opposite angle B = j
- Side opposite angle C = k
To determine the correct order, we need to compare the angles. The largest angle is angle B (80°), so the side opposite angle B should be the longest.
Therefore, the correct order of the side lengths from largest to smallest is:
B. j, k, l
Thus, the correct answer is B) j, k, l.
