order ab, bc, and cd from least to greatest.
Step1: Find angles in triangles
In \(\triangle ABE\) (assuming the triangle with \(AB\)), since two sides are equal (marked with one tick), the base angles are equal. But we focus on using the triangle - angle - side relationship. In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the side opposite it.
For \(\triangle BCD\), we know the angle opposite \(CD\) is \(56^{\circ}\).
For \(\triangle ABC\) (assuming the relevant triangle), we need to find angles. Let's first consider the triangle with \(AB\) and the equal - side triangle. But more straightforwardly, use the exterior - angle or angle - sum properties. However, using the theorem: In a triangle, if \(a,b,c\) are side lengths and \(A,B,C\) are the angles opposite to them respectively (\(a\) opposite \(A\), \(b\) opposite \(B\), \(c\) opposite \(C\)), then \(a < b\) if and only if \(A < B\).
Let's assume we have two triangles. For the side \(AB\): consider the triangle where it is a side. For the side \(BC\): assume we find its related angle. For the side \(CD\): its related angle is \(56^{\circ}\).
Let's calculate the angles opposite the sides.
In the left - hand triangle (with \(AB\)), assume it's an isosceles triangle (two sides equal). But using the overall figure:
The angle opposite \(AB\): Let's assume we consider the non - isosceles part. Wait, using the theorem: In \(\triangle BCD\), the side opposite the \(56^{\circ}\) angle is \(BC\) (wait no, correction).
Let's use the following:
In a triangle, the side length is related to the measure of the opposite angle.
Let’s assume we have three triangles (mentally). For side \(AB\): assume the angle opposite to \(AB\) (in its triangle) is \(x\). For side \(BC\): assume we find its opposite angle.
Wait, a better approach:
Let’s use the fact that in a triangle, if we have two sides \(a\) and \(b\) and angles \(A\) and \(B\) opposite to them respectively.
For \(AB\): assume in its triangle, the angle opposite \(AB\) is \(58^{\circ}\) (from the given figure).
For \(BC\): assume we consider the triangle where it is a side. Let's calculate its opposite angle. Wait, another way:
Let’s use the exterior - angle and angle - sum. But more simply, using the theorem:
In a triangle, the side opposite a larger angle is longer.
Suppose we have three sides \(AB\), \(BC\), \(CD\).
Let’s assume we consider the angles opposite them.
The angle opposite \(AB\) (let's call it \(\angle1 = 58^{\circ}\)), the angle opposite \(BC\) (calculate: in the middle triangle, if we assume some angle relations. Wait, no, use the following:
Let’s assume we have two triangles. For the side \(CD\): the angle opposite \(CD\) (in its triangle) is \(56^{\circ}\). For \(AB\): assume the angle opposite \(AB\) is \(58^{\circ}\). For \(BC\):
Let’s assume we have a triangle where \(BC\) is a side. Suppose we use the fact that \(AB = BE\) (from the double - tick marks). Then, in \(\triangle BEC\) (assuming), we can find angles. But a quicker way:
Let’s use the following:
If we consider the three sides \(AB\), \(BC\), \(CD\) and their opposite angles.
The angle opposite \(CD\) is \(56^{\circ}\), the angle opposite \(AB\) is \(58^{\circ}\). For \(BC\), assume we calculate its opposite angle.
Let’s assume we have a triangle where \(BC\) is a side. Suppose we use the angle - sum property. But another approach:
Let’s use the theorem: In \(\triangle1\) (with \(AB\)): angle opposite \(AB\) is \(58^{\circ}\). In \(\triangle2\) (with \(CD\)): angle opposite \(CD\) is \(56^{\circ}\). For \(BC\), assume we have a triangle where its opposite angle is \(180-(58 + 56)=66^{\circ}\) (using a…
