Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the third angle of the triangle

The sum of the angles in a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\). Given the angles at Oak Street and Park Street (\(62^{\circ}\)) and Park Street and Scott Street (\(58^{\circ}\)), the third angle at Scott Street and Oak Street can be calculated as: \[ 180^{\circ} - 62^{\circ} - 58^{\circ} = 60^{\circ}. \]

Step 2: Relate angles to sides

In a triangle, the side opposite the smallest angle is the shortest, and the side opposite the largest angle is the longest. The angles in ascending order are: \[ 58^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}, 62^{\circ}. \] Thus, the sides opposite these angles will also be in ascending order.

Step 3: Identify the sides corresponding to the angles
  • The side opposite \(58^{\circ}\) is Scott Street.
  • The side opposite \(60^{\circ}\) is Oak Street.
  • The side opposite \(62^{\circ}\) is Park Street.

Therefore, the sides in order from least to greatest are: \[ \text{Scott Street, Oak Street, Park Street}. \]

Final Answer

The correct answer is B.
