2
Comparison Property of Inequality Comparison Property of Inequality: If a = b + c, and c > 0, then a > b. a b c
3
Proof of Comparison Property of Inequality StatementsReasons 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Given: a = b + c, c > 0 Prove: a > b c > 0 b + c > b + 0 b + c > b a = b + c a > b
4
Theorem Corollary to the Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem: The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of each of its remote interior angles. by the Δ Exterior Theorem. If we apply the comparison prop of inequality, what do we know?
5
Application Given the figure below, explain why. StatementsReasons 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3.
6
Theorem Theorem 5-10: If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the larger angle lies opposite the longer side.
7
Theorem List the angles of the following figure in order from smallest to largest.
8
Theorem Theorem 5-11: If two angles of a triangle are not congruent, then the longer side lies opposite the larger angle.
9
Sides of a Triangle List the sides of the following triangle in order from shortest to longest. Determine which segment is shortest in the following diagram.
10
Theorem Theorem 5-12: Triangle Inequality Theorem: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
11
Theorem Can a triangle have sides with the given lengths? a) 7 ft, 3 ft, 8 ft b) 10 cm, 6 cm, 3 cm A triangle has sides of lengths 8 cm and 10 cm. Describe the lengths possible for the third side.
12
Lines Review Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment joined by points (3,2) and (-7, 4) in y = mx + b form. Find the equation of a line, in y = mx + b form, that goes through the points (-5, 4) and (5,6).
13
Lines Review Find the equations of the lines containing the midsegments of the triangle with vertices A(-3,2), B(5,6), and C(3,-4) in y = mx + b form.
