  1. Triangle Inequality pg. 118-119 • Sets the maximum & minimum limits for the length of the third side of ANY triangle. • The length of each side must be LESS than the SUM of the lengths of the other two sides. PQ < PR + QR PR < PQ + QR QR < PQ + PR P Q R

  2. Example: AB < AC + BC (x < 14 + 20) AC < AB + BC (14 < x + 20) BC < AB + AC (20 < x + 14) A x 14 If two of the sides are 20 and 14, then the third side is: Max: Less than 20 + 14 = 34 Min: More than 20 – 14 = 6 So, 6 < x < 34 would be the range that the third side COULD be. B C 20 In other words: 20 – 14 < x < 20 + 14
