Warm Up 1.Write the angles in order from smallest to largest. 2. The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 12 cm and 9 cm. Find the range of possible lengths for the third side. X, Z, Y 3 cm < s < 21 cm
5-6 Inequalities in Two Triangles Holt Geometry
Example 1A: Using the Hinge Theorem and Its Converse Compare mBACand mDAC. Compare the side lengths in ∆ABC and ∆ADC. AB = AD AC = AC BC > DC By the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, mBAC > mDAC.
Example 1B: Using the Hinge Theorem and Its Converse Compare EF and FG. Compare the sides and angles in ∆EFH angles in ∆GFH. mGHF = 180° – 82° = 98° EH = GH FH = FH mEHF > mGHF By the Hinge Theorem, EF < GF.
Example 1C: Using the Hinge Theorem and Its Converse Find the range of values for k. Step 1 Compare the side lengths in ∆MLN and ∆PLN. LN = LN LM = LP MN > PN By the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, mMLN > mPLN. 5k – 12 < 38 Substitute the given values. k < 10 Add 12 to both sides and divide by 5.
Example 1C Continued Step 2 Since PLN is in a triangle, mPLN > 0°. 5k – 12 > 0 Substitute the given values. k < 2.4 Add 12 to both sides and divide by 5. Step 3 Combine the two inequalities. The range of values for k is 2.4 < k < 10.
Check It Out! Example 2 When the swing ride is at full speed, the chairs are farthest from the base of the swing tower. What can you conclude about the angles of the swings at full speed versus low speed? Explain. The of the swing at full speed is greater than the at low speed because the length of the triangle on the opposite side is the greatest at full swing.
