  5. ERHS Math Geometry Comparison Postulate A whole is greater than any of its parts If a = b + c and a, b, c> 0 then a > b and a > c Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  6. ERHS Math Geometry Transitive Property If a, b, and c are real numbers such that a > b and b > c, then a > c Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  7. ERHS Math Geometry Substitution Postulate A quantity may be substituted for its equal in any statement of inequality If a > b and b = c, then a > c Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  8. ERHS Math Geometry Trichotomy Postulate Give any two quantities, a and b, one and only one of the following is true: a < b or a = b or a > b Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  9. ERHS Math Geometry Addition Postulate I If equal quantities are added to unequal quantities, then the sum are unequal in the same order If a > b, then a + c > b + c If a < b, then a + c < b + c Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  10. ERHS Math Geometry Addition Postulate II If unequal quantities are added to unequal quantities in the same order, then the sum are unequal in the same order If a > b and c > d, then a + c > b +d If a < b and c < d, then a + c < b +d Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  11. ERHS Math Geometry Subtraction Postulate If equal quantities are subtracted from unequal quantities, then the difference are unequal in the same order If a > b, then a - c > b - c If a < b, then a - c < b - c Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  12. ERHS Math Geometry Multiplication Postulate I If unequal quantities are multiplied by positive equal quantities, then the products are unequal in the same order c> 0: If a > b, then ac > bc If a < b, then ac < bc Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  13. ERHS Math Geometry Multiplication Postulate II If unequal quantities are multiplied by negative equal quantities, then the products are unequal in the opposite order c< 0: If a > b, then ac < bc If a < b, then ac > bc Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  14. ERHS Math Geometry Division Postulate I If unequal quantities are divided by positive equal quantities, then the quotients are unequal in the same order c> 0: If a > b, then a/c > b/c If a < b, then a/c < b/c Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  15. ERHS Math Geometry Division Postulate II If unequal quantities are divided by negative equal quantities, then the quotients are unequal in the opposite order c < 0: If a > b, then a/c < b/c If a < b, then a/c > b/c Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  20. C B A ERHS Math Geometry If the length of one side of a triangle is longer than the length of another side, then the measure of the angle opposite the longer side is greater than that of the angle opposite the shorter side (In a triangle the greater angle is opposite the longer side) Given: ∆ ABC with AC > BC Prove: mB > mA Longer Side Theorem Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  21. C D 2 1 3 B A ERHS Math Geometry If the length of one side of a triangle is longer than the length of another side, then the measure of the angle opposite the longer side is greater than that of the angle opposite the shorter side (In a triangle the greater angle is opposite the longer side) Given: ∆ ABC with AC > BC Prove: mB > mA Longer Side Theorem Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  23. C B A ERHS Math Geometry If the measure of one angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of another angle, then the side opposite the greater angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle (In a triangle the longer side is opposite the greater angle) Given: ∆ ABC with mB > mA Prove: AC > BC Greater Angle Theorem Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

  24. C B A ERHS Math Geometry Statements Reasons 1. mB > mA 1. Given 2. Assume AC ≤ BC 2. Assume the opposite is true 3. mB = mA (when AC = BC)3.

  28. C B A ERHS Math Geometry A corollary of the Pythagorean theorem's converse is a simple means of determining whether a triangle is right, obtuse, or acute Given: ∆ ABC and c is the longest side Prove: If a2 +b2 = c2, then the triangle is right If a2 + b2 > c2, then the triangle is acute If a2 + b2 < c2, then the triangle is obtuse Converse of Pythagorean Theorem Mr. Chin-Sung Lin
