NAME _____________________________________________ DATE ____________________________ BLOCK ______________ 5-3 Study Guide and Intervention Inequalities in One Triangle Angle Inequalities Properties of inequalities, including the Transitive, Addition, and Subtraction Properties of Inequality, can be used with measures of angles and segments. There is also a Comparison Property of Inequality. For any real numbers a and b, either a < b, a = b, or a > b. The Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem can be used to prove this inequality involving an exterior angle. Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of its corresponding remote interior angles. m∠1 > m∠A, m∠1 > m∠B Example : List all angles of EFG with measures that are less than m∠ 1. The measure of an exterior angle is greater than the measure of either remote interior angle. So m∠ 3 < m∠ 1 and m∠ 4 < m∠ 1. Exercises Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem to list all of the angles that satisfy the stated condition. 1. measures are less than m∠ 1 2. measures are greater than m∠ 3 3. measures are less than m∠ 1 4. measures are greater than m∠ 1 5. measures are less than m∠ 7 6. measures are greater than m∠ 2 7. measures are greater than m∠ 5 8. measures are less than m∠ 4 9. measures are less than m∠ 1 10. measures are greater than m∠ 4 NAME _____________________________________________ DATE ____________________________ BLOCK ______________ 5-3 Study Guide and Intervention (continued) Inequalities in One Triangle Angle-Side Relationships When the sides of triangles are not congruent, there is a relationship between the sides and angles of the triangles. • 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. • 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. If AC > AB, then m∠ B > m∠ C. If m∠ A > m∠ C, then BC > AB.

NAME _____________________________________________ DATE ____________________________ BLOCK ______________ 5-5 Study Guide and Intervention The Triangle Inequality The Triangle Inequality If you take three straws of lengths 8 inches, 5 inches, and 1 inch and try to make a triangle with them, you will find that it is not possible. This illustrates the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Triangle Inequality Theorem The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. a+b>c b+c>a a+c>b Example : The measures of two sides of a triangle are 5 and 8. Find a range for the length of the third side. By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, all three of the following inequalities must be true. 5+x>8 8+x>5 5+8>x x>3 x > –3 13 > x Therefore x must be between 3 and 13.

Suppose you have three different positive numbers arranged in order from least to greatest. What single comparison will let you see if the numbers can be the lengths of the sides of a triangle? NAME _____________________________________________ DATE ____________________________ BLOCK ______________ 5-6 Study Guide and Intervention Inequalities in Two Triangles Hinge Theorem The following theorem and its converse involve the relationship between the sides of two triangles and an angle in each triangle. Hinge Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle. Converse of the Hinge Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third side in the first is longer than the third side in the second, then the included angle in the first triangle is greater than the included angle in the second triangle. Example 1 : Compare the measures of and Two sides of △HGF are congruent to two sides of △HEF, and m∠ GHF > m∠ EHF. By the Hinge Theorem, GF > FE. . Example 2 : Compare the measures of ∠ ABD and ∠ CBD. Two sides of △ABD are congruent to two sides of △CBD, and AD > CD. By the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, m∠ ABD > m∠ CBD.
