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

Examples: The lengths of two sides of a triangle are given. Write a compound inequality (two inequalities in one) that expresses the possible values of x, the length of the third side.
a) 7, 13 _____ < x < _____

The Isosceles Triangle Theorem states “If two sides of a triangle are
congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent.” The following theorem covers the case where two sides of a triangle are
not congruent.

Triangle Sides Inequality Theorem (TSIT)
In a triangle, if two sides are not congruent, then the angles
opposite those sides are not congruent and the larger angle will
be opposite the longer side.

The converse of this theorem is also true.

Triangle Angles Inequality Theorem (TAIT)
In a triangle, if two angles are not congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are not
congruent and the longer side will be opposite the larger angle.
