is longer than the third side of the second triangle.is longer than the third side of the second triangle.

Imagine a stick in the crocodile’s mouth.

What would the crocodile do to fit a longerstick in her jaws?

She cannot lengthen her jaws, they are the congruent side of the triangle.

She can, however, change the included angleof the two sides of her jaw, therefore making the side opposite that angle bigger.

Therefore, the stick (the third side) would be longer.
