List the sides of δrst in in ascending order (shortest to longest) if: a ∠r =x+28°, m∠s = 2x+16°, and m∠t = x+12°

1. ∠1 is complementary to ∠2 and ∠3 is complementary to ∠2. subtraction property of equality 2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 90 and m∠3 + m∠2 = 90 substitution 3. m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠3 + m∠2 definition of complementary 4. m∠1 = m∠3 given
