Triangular Inequalities Theorem

The document discusses the triangle inequality theorem which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. It provides three theorems related to the triangle inequality theorem: 1) 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 the second side, 2) if one angle of a triangle is larger than a second angle, then the side opposite the first angle is longer than the side opposite the second angle, and 3) the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either remote interior angle.
