We first recall that the absolute value of a number is always non‐negative. In particular, for any real number $$a$$ we have  
$$
|a|\ge0.
$$

1. Compute the absolute values:  
   - $$ |20.9| = 20.9 $$  
   - $$ |-29.1| = 29.1 $$  
   - $$ |28.9| = 28.9 $$

2. Compare the numbers. Since
   $$
   20.9 < 29.1 \quad \text{and} \quad 28.9 < 29.1,
   $$
   we have:
   $$
   |20.9| < |-29.1| \quad \text{and} \quad |28.9| < |-29.1|.
   $$

Thus, replacing the square with the appropriate symbol (namely, the "less than" symbol), we complete the statements as follows:

$$
|20.9| < |-29.1|
$$
$$
|28.9| < |-29.1|
$$
$$ |20.9| < |-29.1| $$ $$ |28.9| < |-29.1| $$
