5.6 Indirect Proof & Inequalities in Two Triangles Geometry Mrs. Spitz Fall 2004

Objectives: Read and write an indirect proof Use the Hinge Theorem and its Converse to compare side lengths and angle measures.

Assignment pp #1-24 all

Using Indirect Proof Up to now, all the proofs have used the Laws of Syllogism and Detachment to obtain conclusions directly. In this lesson, you will study indirect proofs. An indirect proof is a proof in which you prove that a statement is true by first assuming that its opposite is true. If this assumption leads to an impossibility, then you have proved that the original statement is true.

Ex. 1: Using Indirect Proof Use an indirect proof to prove that a triangle cannot have more than one obtuse angle. SOLUTION: Given ► ∆ABC Prove ►∆ABC does not have more than one obtuse triangle

Ex. 1: Using Indirect Proof Step 1: Begin by assuming that ∆ABC does have more than one obtuse angle. –m  A > 90° and m  B > 90° Assume ∆ABC has two obtuse angles. –m  A + m  B > 180° Add the two given inequalities. Step 2: You know; however, that the sum of all the measures of all three angles is 180°. –m  A + m  B +m  C = 180° Triangle Sum Theorem –m  A + m  B = 180° - m  C Subtraction Property of Equality Step 3: So, you can substitute 180 ° - m  C for m  A + m  B in m  A + m  B > 180° 180° - m  C > 180° Substitution Property of Equality 0° > m  C Simplify

IMPOSSIBLE WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT The last statement is not possible; angle measures in triangles cannot be negative. ► So, you can conclude that the original statement must be false. That is, ∆ABC cannot have more than one obtuse triangle.

Guidelines for writing an Indirect Proof 1.Identify the statement that you want to prove is false. 2.Begin by assuming the statement is false; assume its opposite is true. 3.Obtain statements that logically follow from your assumption. 4.If you obtain a contradiction, then the original statement must be true.

Objective 2: Using the Hinge Theorem In the two triangles shown, notice that AB ≅ DE and BC ≅ EF, but m  B is greater than m  E. It appears that the side opposite the 122° angle is longer than the side opposite the 85° angle. This relationship is guaranteed by the Hinge Theorem. 122 ° 85 °

Theorem 5.14: Hinge Theorem If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle. RT > VX 100 ° 80 °

Theorem 5.15: Converse of the Hinge Theorem If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third side of the first is longer than the third side of the second, then the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second. m  A > m  D

Ex. 2: Indirect Proof of Theorem 5.15 GIVEN: AB ≅ DE BC ≅ EF AC > DF PROVE: m  B > m  E Solution: Begin by assuming that m  > m  E. Then it follows that either m  B = m  E or m  B < m  E.

Indirect Proof continued Case 1: If m  B = m  E, then  B ≅  E. So, ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF by the SAS Congruence Postulate and AC = DF. Case 2: m  B <  E, then AC < DF by the Hinge Theorem. Both conclusions contradict the given information that AC > DF. So, the original assumption that m  B > m  E cannot be correct. Therefore, m  B > m  E.

Ex. 3: Finding Possible Side Lengths and Angle Measures You can use the Hinge Theorem and its converse to choose possible side lengths or angle measures from a given list. a.AB ≅ DE, BC ≅ EF, AC = 12 inches, m  B = 36 °, and m  E = 80°. Which of the following is a possible length for DF? 8 in., 10 in., 12 in., or 23 in.?

Ex. 3: Finding Possible Side Lengths and Angle Measures Because the included angle in ∆DEF is larger than the included angle in ∆ABC, the third side DF must be longer than AC. So, of the four choices, the only possible length for DF is 23 inches. A diagram of the triangle shows this is plausible.

Ex. 3: Finding Possible Side Lengths and Angle Measures b.∆RST and a ∆XYZ, RT ≅ XZ, ST ≅ YZ, RS = 3.7 cm., XY = 4.5 cm, and m  Z = 75 °. Which of the following is a possible measure for  T: 60°, 75°, 90°, or 105°.

Ex. 3: Finding Possible Side Lengths and Angle Measures b.Because the third side in ∆RST is shorter than the third side in ∆XYZ, the included angle  T must be smaller than  Z. So, of the four choices, the only possible measure for  T is 60 °.

Ex. 4: Comparing Distances TRAVEL DISTANCE: You and a friend are flying separate planes. You leave the airport and fly 120 miles due west. You then change direction and fly W 30° N for 70 miles. (W 30° N indicates a north-west direction that is 30° north of due west.) Your friend leaves the airport and flies 120 miles due east. She then changes direction and flies E 40° S for 70 miles. Each of you has flown 190 miles, but which plane is further from the airport?

SOLUTION: Begin by drawing a diagram as shown. Your flight is represented by ∆PQR and your friend’s flight is represented by ∆PST. Because these two triangles have two sides that are congruent, you can apply the Hinge Theorem to conclude that RP is longer than TP. So, your plane is further from the airport than your friend’s plane. N WE S 150 ° 140 °
