4. Example 1 Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

5. Example 1 Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem Since  11 and  9 are vertical angles, they have equal measure, so m  14 > m  9. m  9 > m  6 and m  9 > m  7, so m  14 > m  6 and m  14 > m  7. By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, m  14 > m  4 and m  14 > m  11. In addition, m  14 > m  2 and m  14 > m  4 + m  3, so m  14 > m  4 and m  14 > m  3.

6. Example 1 Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

7. Example 1 Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, m  10 > m  5 and m  16 > m  10, so m  16 > m  5. Since  10 and  12 are vertical angles, m  12 > m  5. m  15 > m  12, so m  15 > m  5. In addition, m  17 > m  5 + m  6, so m  17 > m  5.

12. Example 2 Identify Arithmetic Sequence List the angles of ΔABC in order from smallest to largest. Answer:  C,  A,  B The sides from the shortest to longest are AB, BC, and AC. The angles opposite these sides are  C,  A, and  B respectively. So, according to the Angle-Side Relationship, the angles from smallest to largest are  C,  A,  B.

16. Example 4 Angle-Side Relationships HAIR ACCESSORIES Ebony is following directions for folding a handkerchief to make a bandana for her hair. After she folds the handkerchief in half, the directions tell her to tie the two smaller angles of the triangle under her hair. If she folds the handkerchief with the dimensions shown, which two ends should she tie?

17. Example 4 Angle-Side Relationships Theorem 5.10 states that if one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side has a greater measure than the angle opposite the shorter side. Since  X is opposite the longest side it has the greatest measure. Answer: So, Ebony should tie the ends marked Y and Z.

She has two congruent triangular pieces of fabric that need to be sewn together along their longest side. The directions say to begin sewing the two pieces of fabric together at their smallest angles. At which two angles should she begin sewing?
