Triangle
Inequalities
Objectives:
Specifically, you are expected to:
illustrate theorems on triangle
inequalities.
Let’s discuss
the lesson
Discussion
The first activity illustrates the triangle inequalities in one
triangle. These are:
Triangle Inequality Theorem 1
(Ss Aa)
If one side of a triangle is
longer than a second side, then
the angle opposite the first side
is larger than the angle opposite is longer than
the second side. The opposite angle of is .
The opposite angle of is .
Therefore, is larger than .
Discussion
The first activity illustrates the triangle inequalities in one
triangle. These are:
Triangle Inequality Theorem 2
(A Ss)
If one angle of a triangle is
larger than a second angle, then
the side opposite the first angle is larger than
is longer than the side opposite The opposite side of is .
the second angle. The opposite side of is .
Therefore, is longer than.
Discussion
The first activity illustrates the triangle inequalities in one
triangle. These are:
Example 1:
Is it possible to draw a triangle whose side measures 5m,
7m and 4m?
Triangle Inequality Solution:
Theorem 3 Let
TRUE
The sum of the lengths of any two TRUE
sides of a triangle is greater than → TRUE
the length of the third side. Therefore, a triangle can be drawn.
Example 2:
Is it possible to draw a triangle whose side measures 3m,
8m and 4m?
Solution:
Let
TRUE
TRUE
Note: This rule must be satisfied for all 3 conditions of the sides. → FALSE
Therefore, a triangle cannot be drawn.
Discussion
The first activity illustrates the triangle inequalities in one
triangle. These are:
Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a
triangle is greater than the measure
of either remote interior angle.
Discussion
Here are the theorems on triangle inequalities in two triangles.
Hinge Theorem or
SAS Inequality Theorem: Third Side
If two sides of one triangle are (First Triangle)
Third Side
congruent to two sides of another (Second Triangle)
triangle, but the included angle of the first two
triangle is greater than the included angle
of the second, then the third side of the
sides
first triangle is longer than the third side
of the second.
Included angle Included angle
(First Triangle) (Second Triangle)
Discussion
Here are the theorems on triangle inequalities in two triangles.
Converse of Hinge Theorem or
SSS Inequality Theorem Third Side
If two sides of one triangle are (First Triangle)
Third Side
congruent to two sides of another (Second Triangle)
triangle, but the third side of the first two
triangle is longer than the third side of
sides
the second, then the included angle of the
first triangle is larger than the included
angle of the second.

Let’s practice!
Activity: Fact or Bluff
Direction: Determine whether
the statement is true or false. If
the statement is true, write
FACT, if the statement is false,
write BLUFF. Write your
answer in a sheet of paper.

Activity: Fact or Bluff
Question 2
If the lengths of the two sides
of a triangle are 4 inches and
5 inches, the length of the
third can be 8 inches.
Activity: Fact or Bluff
Question 3
A triangle can be form
whose sides are equal in
length.
Activity: Fact or Bluff
Question 4
It is possible to make a
triangle whose sides are
7,8 and 15.
Activity: Fact or Bluff
Question 5
A triangle can be form
whose sides are 10, 9 and
8 inches.
Activity: Fact or Bluff
Question 6
If the lengths of the two
sides of a triangle is 5
cm, the third side must
be greater than 10.
Activity: Fact or Bluff
Question 7
When the three sides are
given, you can determine
if the a triangle can be
formed.
Activity: Fact or Bluff
