Inequalities in Triangles GEOMETRY LESSON 5-5 1. 3 2 because they are vertical and m 1 > m 3 by Corollary to the Ext. Thm. So, m 1 > m 2 by subst. 2. An ext. of a is larger than either remote int. . 3. m 1 > m 4 by Corollary to the Ext. Thm. and 4 2 because if Pages 276-279 Exercises 3. (continued) lines, then alt. int. are . 4. M, L, K 5.

Sample: If Y is the distance between Wichita and Topeka, then 20 < Y < 200. 29. Let the distance between the peaks be d and the distances from the hiker to each of the peaks be a and b. Then d + a > b and d + b > a. Thus, d > b – a and d > a –b. 18. No; 8 + 10 19. 19. Yes; 1 + 15 > 15; 15 + 15 > 11. 20. Yes; 2 + 9 > 10; 9 + 10 > 2; 2 + 10 > 9. 21. No; 4 + 5 9. 22. 4 < s < 20 > 5-5

Then m DAB > m CAD by the Comparison Prop. of Ineq. So by subst., m DAB > m D and by Thm. 5-11 DB > AB. Since DC + CB = DB, by subst. DC + CB > AB. Using subst. again, AC + CB > AB. 41. T is the largest in PTA. Thus PA > PT because the longest side of a is opp. The largest . 5 18 5-5
Inequalities in Triangles GEOMETRY LESSON 5-5 42. D 43. A 44. B 45. C 46. B 47. [2] a. Since m A > m C > m B, the sides opp. them are related in the same way: BC > AB > AC. Of AB and AC, AB is longer than AC. Since 9 in. > 5 in., AB = 9 in. and AC = 5 in. b. BC is the longest side, so 9 < BC < 14. The possible whole number measures for BC are 10 in., 11 in., 12 in., and 13 in. [1] part (a) OR part (b) incorrect 48. m A > m B 49. m X ≤ m B 50. The angle is not a right angle. 5-5
