SAS Inequality (Hinge Thm.)
If 2 sides of one triangle are
congruent to 2 sides of another
triangle, and the included angle in
one triangle is greater than the
included angle in the other, then the
rd

SSS Inequality
If 2 sides of one triangle are congruent to
2 sides of another triangle and the 3rd
side in one triangle is longer than the
third side in the other, then the angle
between the pair of congruent sides in
the first triangle is greater than the
corresponding angle in the 2nd triangle.
