5.5 Use Inequalities in a Triangle

Theorems If one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side is larger than the angle opposite the shorter side. If one angle of a triangle is larger than another angle, then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle. The sum of the lengths of any 2 sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the 3rd side. The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of the nonadjacent interior angles.

EXAMPLE 1 Relate side length and angle measure Draw an obtuse scalene triangle. Find the largest angle and longest side and mark them in red. Find the smallest angle and shortest side and mark them in blue. What do you notice? SOLUTION The longest side and largest angle are opposite each other. The shortest side and smallest angle are opposite each other.

EXAMPLE 3 Find possible side lengths ALGEBRA A triangle has one side of length 12 and another of length 8. Describe the possible lengths of the third side. SOLUTION Let x represent the length of the third side. Draw diagrams to help visualize the small and large values of x. Then use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to write and solve inequalities.

EXAMPLE 3 Find possible side lengths Small values of x Large values of x x + 8 > 12 x > 4 8 + 12 > x 20 > x, or x < 20 The length of the third side must be greater than 4 and less than 20. ANSWER
