5:4 Inequalities for Sides and
Angles of a Triangle
Objective: Recognize and apply
relationships between sides and
angles of triangles
Theorem: If one side
of a triangle is
longer than
another side, then
the angle opposite
the longer side has
a greater measure
than the angle
opposite the
shorter side.

List the angles from greatest
to least.
EX:
D

55°
E
F
List the sides from shortest
to longest.
Theorem: If one
angle of a triangle
has a greater
measure than
another angle, then
the side opposite
the greater angle is
longer than the
side opposite the
lesser angle.

• Find the value of x and list the sides of
∆ABC in order for SHORTEST to
LONGEST if the angles have the indicated
measures.
