  1. Lesson 7.5 Triangle Inequality pp. 287-290

  2. Objectives: 1. To state and prove the triangle inequality. 2. To apply the triangle inequality to triangle existence problems and to problem-solving strategies.

  4. Definition A point M isBetweenA and B if AM + MB = AB. The correct notation is A-M-B.

  5. Theorem 7.14 Triangle Inequality. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

  6. 2 3 ? 7

  7. EXAMPLEIn a business office the equipment must be arranged carefully for efficient use. Becky uses primarily the computer on her desk, the photocopier, and the fax machine. A triangular arrangement is desired to facilitate access between all three machines. The distance between her desk and the photocopier must be the shortest, and the total distance between the three items should not exceed 20 feet.

  9. Practice: Can a triangle be constructed with segments of length 5, 8, and 13? 1. Yes 2. No

  10. Practice: Can a triangle be constructed with segments of length 4, 6, and 1? 1. Yes 2. No

  11. Practice: Given two sides of a triangle equal 4 and 7, what is the range of possible values for the third side? 3  x  11 The third side must be greater than the difference but less than the sum.

  12. Practice: Given two sides of a triangle equal 9 and 18, which of the following is a possible length for the third side? 1. 9 2. 28 3. 12 4. 8
