5.5 Indirect Proof and Inequalities in One Triangle Indirect Proof: proof in which the statement to be proved is assumed to be false and a contradiction is shown *aka Proof by Contradiction Writing an Indirect Proof 1. Identify the conjecture to be proven 2. Assume the opposite (the negation) of the conclusion is true 3. Use direct reasoning to show that the assumption leads to a contradiction 4. Conclude that since the assumption is false, the original conjecture must be true π Example 1: Write an indirect proof that if a > 0, then > π π Given: a > 0 1 Prove: π > 0 Proof: Theorems *If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the larger angle is opposite the longer side. (In β, larger β is opp longer side) Given: AB > BC, Conclude πβ πΆ > πβ π΄ *If two angles of a triangle are not congruent, then the longer side is opposite the larger angle (In β, longer side is opp largerβ ) Given: πβ πΆ > πβ π΄, Conclude AB > BC Example 2: A) Write the angles in order from smallest to largest B) Write the sides in order from shortest to longest Triangle Inequality Theorem The sum of any two side lengths of a triangle is greater than the third side length. AB + BC > AC BC + AC > AB AC + AB > BC Example 3: Tell whether a triangle can have sides with the given lengths. Explain A) 7, 10, 19 B) 2.3, 3.1, 4.6 C) 6, 6, 12 D) π + 6, π2 β 1, 3π when n = 4 Example 4: The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 8 in and 13 in. Find the range of possible lengths for the third side. Example 5: The figure shows the approximate distance between cities in California. What is the range of distances from San Francisco to Oakland?
