TRIANGLE INEQUALITY THEOREM

M
MichaellaApale

The document discusses several theorems related to triangles: 1) The triangle inequality theorem states that the length of any side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than their difference. 2) The exterior angle theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles. 3) The hinge theorem states that if two triangles have two congruent sides but not congruent included angles, then the third sides will be unequal, with the longer side opposite the larger angle.

MATH-ionary Exterior Angle outside the triangle Hinge- If two sides of a triangle are congruent to the sides of another triangle, but their included angles are not, then the remaining sides are unequal. The longer side is opposite the larger angle. Angle- part of the triangle SAS Side-Angle-Side (with included angle)
MATH-ionary Inequality- not equal Theorem- statement that must be proven Interior- Angles inside the triangle Triangle- closed figure which has three sides Remote- angles of a triangle that are not adjacent to a given angle. Adjacent- angles having a common vertex and a common side.

Question 1. What are the exterior angles of the given triangle? 2. How will you describe the exterior angle?
Exterior Angle of a Triangle An exterior angle of a triangle is an angle that forms a linear pair with an interior angle of a triangle is extended.

6. Compare the sum of the lengths of AC and BC to AB. 7. What can you say about the sum of the two sides of a triangle compared to its third side? Question
Triangle Inequality The length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides. The length of one side is also greater than the positive difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

4. What is the length of the side opposite the smallest angle? 5. What is the relationship between the length of the side and the angle opposite to the given side? Question
Theorem If the length of the two sides of a triangle is unequal, the measures of the angles are also unequal. The longer side is opposite the angle with a greater measure.
Triangle Inequality Theorem 2 If one angle of a triangle is larger than a second angle, then the side opposite the first angle is longer than the side opposite the second angle. In other words, opposite the largest angle is the longest side.

Hinge Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent to the sides of another triangle, but their included angles are not, then the remaining sides are unequal. The longer side is opposite the larger angle.
