    This document discusses triangle inequalities and related concepts. It will teach how to measure angles and sides of triangles, arrange them in order, and define the triangle inequality theorem. It provides examples of arranging angles and sides in order and applying the triangle inequality theorem to determine if a triangle can be formed based on given side lengths. It also discusses the relationships between sides and opposite angles in a triangle and introduces the hinge theorem and its converse.

    Triangle

    Inequalities
    What You’ll Learn
    •You’ll learn to measure angles and side.
    •Arrange the measurement of angles
    and sides in increasing orders and vice
    versa.
    •Define Triangle Inequality Theorem
    Activity for Triangle Inequalities
    Find the measurement of the following.
    Table 1:
    ΔABC Sides (cm) Angles
    = =
    BC = =
    AC = C=

    Table 2:
    ΔABC Longest Side Shortest Side Largest Angle Smallest Angle
    Analysis:
    • 1. What is the relationship between the
    longest side of a triangle and the measure
    of the angle opposite it?
    • 2. What is the relationship between the
    shortest side of a triangle and the measure
    of the angle opposite it?
    EXAMPLE 1. Arrange the angles in
    descending order.

    ∠𝑺,∠𝑩,∠𝑼
    EXAMPLE 2. Arrange the sides in descending
    order.

    Triangle Inequality Theorem
    •In a triangle, the sum of the
    lengths of any two sides is
    greater than the length of the
    third side.
    EXAMPLE 3. Can a triangle be constructed
    with sides of lengths 12cm, 24cm, and 18cm?
    Solution:
    By Theorem 3, check the sum of the two shortest segments.
    Is 12 + 18 > 24?

    12 + 18 > 24? 30 > 24 TRUE


    12 + 24 > 18? 36 > 18 TRUE
    18 + 24 > 12? 42 > 12 TRUE
    Therefore, a triangle can be constructed.
    Can a triangle be constructed with sides of
    lengths 4cm, 6cm, and 11cm?

    6 + 11 > 4? 17 > 4 TRUE


    4 + 11 > 6? 15 > 6 TRUE
    6 + 4 > 11? 10 > 4 FALSE
    Therefore, a triangle cannot be constructed.
    HINGE THEOREM

    It two sides of a triangle are congruent


    to the two sides of another triangle, but
    their included angles are not, then the
    remaining sides are unequal. The longer
    side is opposite the larger angle.
    CONVERSE OF THE HINGE
    THEOREM
    If two sides of a triangle are congruent to the
    other sides of another triangle, but the
    remaining sides are unequal, then the
    included angles of the congruent sides are
    unequal. The larger angle is opposite the
    longer side.

    a. Interior angles - angles
    inside a polygon
    Name the interior angles of ΔPQR.

    b. Exterior angles - the angle between a side of


    a polygon and an extended adjacent side.
    Name the exterior angle of ΔPQR.
    c. Remote Interior Angles -
    two angles that do not form a
    linear pair with the exterior angle.

    are the remote interior


    angles.
