Triangle Inequality
Objective:
– Students make conjectures about the measures of opposite sides and angles of triangles.
![Page 2: Triangle Inequality Objective: –Students make conjectures about the measures of opposite sides and angles of triangles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083009/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7a53/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
If one side of a triangle is longer than the other sides, then its opposite angle is longer than the other two angles.

Converse is true alsoBiggest Angle Opposite ______Medium Angle Opposite______Smallest Angle Opposite______
Angle B > Angle A > Angle C
So AC >BC > AB
If one angle of a triangle is longer than the other angles, then its opposite side is longer than the other two sides.

Triangle Inequality
Objective:
– determine whether the given triples are possible lengths of the sides of a triangle

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

Example: Determine if the following lengths are legs of triangles
A) 4, 9, 5
4 + 5 ? 9
9 > 9
We choose the smallest two of the three sides and add them together. Comparing the sum to the third side:
B) 9, 5, 5
Since the sum is not greater than the third side, this is not a
triangle
5 + 5 ? 9
10 > 9Since the sum is greater than the third side, this is
a triangle

Triangle Inequality
Objective:
– Solve for a range of possible lengths of a side of a triangle given the length of the other two sides.

A triangle has side lengths of 6 and 12; what are the possible lengths of
the third side?
B
A
C
6 12
X = ?
1) 12 + 6 = 18
2) 12 – 6 = 6Therefore: 6 < X < 18

Examples
Describe the possible lengths of the third side of the triangle given the lengths of the other two sides.
