Lesson 5-4 The Triangle Inequality
Ohio Content Standards:
Describe and apply the properties of similar and congruent figures; and justify conjectures involving similarity and congruence.
Ohio Content Standards: Make and test conjectures about characteristics and properties (e.g., sides, angles, symmetry) of two- dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects.
Ohio Content Standards: Use coordinate geometry to represent and examine the properties of geometric figures.
Ohio Content Standards: Establish the validity of conjectures about geometric objects, their properties and relationships by counter- example, inductive and deductive reasoning, and critiquing arguments made by others.
