    Goal: to use inequalities involving angles and sides of triangles

    Activities:
    1. Open GSP 4.06 and complete all steps and answer all
    questions for GSP Triangle Inequality Activity.
    2. View Lesson 5-5 Powerpoint and take notes.
    3. Work through the following links
    1. Khan Academy
    2. Rags to Riches
    3. Quia
    4. Visual Representation
    4. Summary: In your notes, explain the three concepts
    explored in class today relating measures of sides and
    angles in triangles.
    Triangle Inequality Theorem

    The sum of the lengths of any two


    sides of a triangle is greater than the
    length of the third side
    Inequalities in One Triangle

    They have to be able to reach!!

    3 2
    4 3

    6
    6
    3 3
    Note that there is only one
    situation that you can have a
    triangle; when the sum of two
    6
    sides of the triangle are greater
    than the third.
    Triangle Inequality Theorem

    A
    AB + AC > BC

    AB + BC > AC

    AC + BC > AB
    B
    C
    Triangle Inequality Theorem
    Biggest Side Opposite Biggest Angle
    A
    Medium Side Opposite
    Medium Angle 3

    Smallest Side Opposite 5

    Smallest Angle

    B
    C
    m<B is greater than m<C
    Triangle Inequality Theorem

    Converse is true also A


    Biggest Angle Opposite
    _____________
    Medium Angle Opposite
    ______________
    65
    Smallest Angle Opposite
    30
    _______________ B
    C
    Angle A > Angle B > Angle C
    So CB >AC > AB
    Example: List the measures of the sides of the
    triangle, in order of least to greatest.

    <A = 2x + 1 <B = 4x
    <C = 4x -11

    A Solving for x:
    C
    2x +1 + 4x + 4x - 11 =180
    Note: Picture is not to scale
    10x - 10 = 180
    Plugging back into our 10x = 190
    Angles:
    <A = 39o; <B = 76; <C = 65 X = 19

    Therefore, BC < AB < AC


    Using the Exterior Angle
    Inequality
    Example: Solve the inequality if
    AB + AC > BC
    C
    (x+3) + (x+ 2) > 3x - 2
    x+3
    2x + 5 > 3x - 2 3x - 2

    x<7 A
    x+2 B
    Example: Determine if the following
    lengths are legs of triangles

    A) 4, 9, 5 B) 9, 5, 5
    We choose the smallest two of the three sides and add
    them together. Comparing the sum to the third side:

    4+5 ? 9 5+5 ? 9
    9>9 10 > 9
    Since the sum is
    Since the sum is
    not greater than
    greater than the
    the third side,
    third side, this is
    this is not a
    a triangle
    triangle
    Example: a triangle has side lengths of 6 and
    12; what are the possible lengths of the third
    side?

    6 12

    C
    X=?

    12 + 6 = 18
    Therefore:
    6 < X < 18
    12 – 6 = 6
