At the endof the lesson, the learners will be
able to;
⢠State the theorem on triangle inequalities,
exterior angle inequality, and hinge theorem;
⢠Illustrate the theorem on triangle inequalities,
exterior angle inequality, and hinge theorem; and
⢠Develop positive attitude towards work.
Triangle Inequality Postulate
Thelength of a side of a triangle is less than
the sum of the lengths of the other two sides.
The length of one side is also greater than the
positive difference of the lengths of the other
two sides.
Theorem:
If the lengthof the two sides of a triangle is
unequal, the measures of the angles are also
unequal. The longer side is opposite the angle
with a greater measure.
Hinge Theorem
If twosides of a triangle are congruent to the
sides of another triangle, but their included
angles are not, then the remaining sides are
unequal. The longer side is opposite of the
larger angle.
