Step1: Triangle inequality theorem

For three side - lengths \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) of a triangle, the following must hold: \(a + b>c\), \(a + c>b\), and \(b + c>a\).

For \(19\), \(11\), \(17\):

\(11+17 = 28>19\), \(11 + 19=30>17\), \(17+19 = 36>11\).

For \(23\), \(28\), \(52\):

\(23+28=51<52\).

For \(34\), \(9\), \(25\):

\(9 + 25=34\).

For \(13\), \(22\), \(14\):

\(13+14 = 27>22\), \(13+22=35>14\), \(14 + 22=36>13\).

Step1: Find the measure of \(\angle D\)

In \(\triangle DEF\), using the angle - sum property of a triangle (\(\angle D+\angle E+\angle F = 180^{\circ}\)). Let \(\angle D=x\), then \(x + 54^{\circ}+56^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\), so \(x=\angle D=180-(54 + 56)=70^{\circ}\).

Step2: Use the side - angle relationship

In a triangle, the side opposite the larger angle is longer. \(\angle E = 54^{\circ}\), \(\angle F=56^{\circ}\), \(\angle D = 70^{\circ}\). The side opposite \(\angle E\) is \(DF\), the side opposite \(\angle F\) is \(DE\), and the side opposite \(\angle D\) is \(EF\).

Step1: Use the side - angle relationship

In \(\triangle PQR\), \(QR = 7\), \(PQ=11\), \(PR = 15\). The side opposite \(\angle P\) is \(QR\), the side opposite \(\angle Q\) is \(PR\), and the side opposite \(\angle R\) is \(PQ\).

Answer:
