4-6 Triangle Inequalities Warm Up Lesson Presentation Lesson Quiz GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities Warm Up 1. Write a conditional from the sentence “An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.” If a ∆ is isosc., then it has 2 sides. 2. Write the contrapositive of the conditional “If it is Tuesday, then John has a piano lesson.” If John does not have a piano lesson, then it is not Tuesday. 3. Show that the conjecture “If x > 6, then 2x > 14” is false by finding a counterexample. x=7 GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities Objectives Apply inequalities in one triangle. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities The positions of the longest and shortest sides of a triangle are related to the positions of the largest and smallest angles. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities Example 1: Ordering Triangle Angle Measures Write the angles in order from smallest to largest. The shortest side is smallest angle is F. The longest side is , so the , so the largest angle is G. The angles from smallest to largest are F, H and G. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities TEACH! Example 1 Write the angles in order from smallest to largest. The shortest side is smallest angle is B. The longest side is , so the , so the largest angle is C. The angles from smallest to largest are B, A, and C. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities Example 2: Ordering Triangle Side Lengths Measures Write the sides in order from shortest to longest. mR = 180° – (60° + 72°) = 48° The smallest angle is R, so the shortest side is . The largest angle is Q, so the longest side is . The sides from shortest to longest are GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities TEACH! Example 2 Write the sides in order from shortest to longest. mE = 180° – (90° + 22°) = 68° The smallest angle is D, so the shortest side is The largest angle is F, so the longest side is . . The sides from shortest to longest are GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities A triangle is formed by three segments, but not every set of three segments can form a triangle. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities A certain relationship must exist among the lengths of three segments in order for them to form a triangle. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities Example 3: Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem Tell whether a triangle can have sides with the given lengths. Explain. 7, 10, 19 No—by the Triangle Inequality Theorem, a triangle cannot have these side lengths. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities TEACH! Example 3 Tell whether a triangle can have sides with the given lengths. Explain. 8, 13, 21 No—by the Triangle Inequality Theorem, a triangle cannot have these side lengths. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities TEACH! Example 4 Tell whether a triangle can have sides with the given lengths. Explain. 6.2, 7, 9 Yes—the sum of each pair of lengths is greater than the third side.

Yes—the sum of each pair of lengths is greater than the third length. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities TEACH! Example 5 Tell whether a triangle can have sides with the given lengths. Explain. t – 2, 4t, t2 + 1, when t = 4 Step 1 Evaluate each expression when t = 4. t–2 4–2 2 4t 4(4) 16 t2 + 1 (4)2 + 1 17 GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities TEACH! Example 5 Continued Step 2 Compare the lengths. Yes—the sum of each pair of lengths is greater than the third length. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities Example 4: Finding Side Lengths The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 8 inches and 13 inches. Find the range of possible lengths for the third side. Let x represent the length of the third side. Then apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem. x + 8 > 13 x>5 x + 13 > 8 x > –5 8 + 13 > x 21 > x Combine the inequalities. So 5 < x < 21. The length of the third side is greater than 5 inches and less than 21 inches. GEOMETRY 4-6 Triangle Inequalities Check It Out! Example 4 The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 22 inches and 17 inches. Find the range of possible lengths for the third side. Let x represent the length of the third side. Then apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem. x + 22 > 17 x > –5 x + 17 > 22 x>5 22 + 17 > x 39 > x Combine the inequalities. So 5 < x < 39. The length of the third side is greater than 5 inches and less than 39 inches.

Let x be the distance from San Francisco to Oakland. x + 46 > 51 x + 51 > 46 46 + 51 > x Δ Inequal. Thm. x>5 x > –5 97 > x Subtr. Prop. of Inequal. 5 < x < 97 Combine the inequalities.

Example 5 The distance from San Marcos to Johnson City is 50 miles, and the distance from Seguin to San Marcos is 22 miles. What is the range of distances from Seguin to Johnson City? Let x be the distance from Seguin to Johnson City. x + 22 > 50 x > 28 28 < x < 72 x + 50 > 22 x > –28 22 + 50 > x Δ Inequal. Thm. 72 > x Subtr. Prop. of Inequal. Combine the inequalities.
