Chapter 5.5
Common Core Common Core – G.CO.10 Prove
theorems about triangles.
Objectives – To use indirect reasoning to write
proofs.
Chapter 5.5 Notes
Indirect Proof – is a proof in which you prove that a
statement is true by first assuming that its opposite is
true. If this assumption leads to an impossibility then
you have proved that the original statement is true.
1) Identify the statement that you want to prove true.
2) Assume the statement is false, assume its opposite is
true.
3) Obtain statements that logically follow your assumption.
4) If you obtain a contradiction, then the original statement
must be true.
Chapter 5.6
Common Core Common Core – G.CO.10 Prove
theorems about triangles.
Objectives – To use inequalities involving angles
and sides of triangles.
Chapter 5.6 Notes
Thm – If one side of a triangle is longer than another
side, then the angle opposite the longer side is larger
than the angle opposite the shorter side.
Thm – If one angle of a triangle is larger than another
angle, then the side opposite the larger angle is
longer than the side opposite the smaller angle.
Exterior Angle Inequality Thm – The measure of
an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than
the measure of either of the 2 nonadjacent
interior angles.
