5:4 Inequalities for Sides and Angles of a Triangle Objective: Recognize and apply relationships between sides and angles of triangles
C EX. 7 12 Theorem: If one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side has a greater measure than the angle opposite the shorter side. B A 9 List the angles from greatest to least.
EX: D 35° Theorem: If one angle of a triangle has a greater measure than another angle, then the side opposite the greater angle is longer than the side opposite the lesser angle. 55° E F List the sides from shortest to longest.
EXAMPLE • Which is greater, mCBD or mCDB? • Is mADB> mDBA? • Which is greater, mCDA or mCBA? C 15 D 16 8 12 A 10 B
PRACTICE • Name the angle with the least measure in ▲LMN. • Which angle in ▲MOT has the greatest measure? • Name the greatest of the six angles in the two triangles, LMN and MOT. L 10 N 7 6 M 9 5 O 8 T
EXAMPLE 1. Which side of ▲RTU is the longest? 2. Name the side of ▲UST that is the longest. 3. T 30º 110º R U S
PRACTICE 1. What is the longest segment in ▲CED? 2. Find the longest segment in ▲ABE. 3. Find the longest segment on the figure. Justify your choice. 4. What is the shortest segment in BCDE? 5. Is the figure drawn to scale? Explain. A E 55º D 50º 30º 100º 40º C B
Exit Ticket • Find the value of x and list the sides of ∆ABC in order for SHORTEST to LONGEST if the angles have the indicated measures. m∠A = 12x - 9, m∠B = 62 – 3x , m∠C = 16x + 2
