Introduction of the Topic Lesson 1: Applies Theorems on Triangle Inequalities PROPER CONSTRUCTION IS IMPORTANT!!! In a construction site, you are the engineer who is going to determine if the constructed triangular bases of a bridge are identically balance and you observed that some of the triangular bases look different. How can you prove that your observation is right? Based on the situation, application on triangle inequalities will be utilized for you to prove what you have observed. Balance and proportion are very This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BYSA-NC important in the construction industry, for if you will not consider these things accident may happen or worse can cause death to the people who utilize the constructed things. Applying concepts on theorems on triangle inequalities (Triangle Inequality Theorem 1, Triangle Inequality Theorem 2, Triangle Inequality Theorem 3, Exterior-Angle Inequality Theorem, Hinge Theorem or SAS Inequality Theorem, and Converse of Hinge Theorem or SSS Inequality Theorem) are very useful in checking properties of triangle-shaped objects. Again, here are the theorems on triangle inequalities. Inequalities in One Triangle: 1. Triangle Inequality Theorem 1 (Ss → 𝑨𝒂) Example 1: Cite angles and sides relationship shown in the given triangle. ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐵 > ̅̅̅̅ 𝐵𝐶 , So m∠ 𝐶 > m∠ 𝐴 Example 2: Name the smallest and largest angle of the triangle. Largest angle: ∠𝑀 Smallest angle: ∠𝐾 Example 3: Write the angles of the triangles from smallest to largest order. ̅̅̅̅ 𝐵𝐶 < ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐵 < ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐶 , So m∠ 𝐴 < m∠ 𝐶 < m∠ 𝐵 Angle: ∠ 𝐴, ∠ 𝐶, ∠ 𝐵 2. Triangle Inequality Theorem 2 (Aa → 𝑺𝒔) Example 1: Name the shortest and longest side of the triangle. Since the m∠𝐵 = 1000, m∠𝐶 = 500, and m∠𝐴 = 300, therefore the shortest side is ̅̅̅̅ 𝐵𝐶 and the longest side is ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐶 . Example 2: Write the sides of the triangle from shortest to longest measure. Solution: Since 𝑚∠ 𝐸= 610 and 𝑚∠ 𝐹= 590, By the Triangle Sum Theorem: find 𝑚∠ 𝐷 DR. CHERRY ANN E. FRANCISCO AND MARIA HERMALYN L. BUHAIN MATH 8 QUARTER 4 WEEK 2 P a g e 3 | 11 m∠ 𝐷 = 1800 – (𝑚∠ 𝐸 + 𝑚∠ 𝐹) m∠ 𝐷 = 1800 – (610 + 590) m∠ 𝐷 = 1800 – (1200) = 600 𝑚∠ 𝐹 < 𝑚∠ 𝐷 < 𝑚∠ 𝐸, So ̅̅̅̅ 𝐷𝐸 < ̅̅̅̅ 𝐸𝐹 < ̅̅̅̅ 𝐷𝐹 Side: ̅̅̅̅ 𝐷𝐸, ̅̅̅̅ 𝐸𝐹 , ̅̅̅̅ 𝐷𝐹 Example 3: List the angles and sides of each triangle from smallest/shortest to largest/longest measure. Solution: Using the Triangle Sum Theorem, we can solve for x, as shown below. (2x + 9) + (2x + 1) + 90 = 180 Triangle Sum Theorem 4x + 100 = 180 combine like terms 4x = 80 APE, add (– 100) to both sides x = 20 MPE, divide both sides by 4 m∠𝑋 = 2 (20) + 1 = 410, and m∠𝑌 = 2 (20) + 9 = 490. Therefore, m∠𝑋 < m∠𝑌 < m∠𝑍, we know that the length of sides across larger angles are longer than those across from shorter angles so ̅̅̅̅ 𝑌𝑍 < ̅̅̅̅ 𝑋𝑍 < ̅̅̅̅ 𝑋𝑌 . ̅̅̅̅, 𝑋𝑍 ̅̅̅̅, 𝑋𝑌 ̅̅̅̅ Side: 𝑌𝑍 Angle: ∠ 𝑋, ∠ 𝑌, ∠ 𝑍 3. Triangle Inequality Theorem 3 (S1 + S2 > S3) Example 1: Determine if a triangle can be formed with the given side length. Explain your answer. a. 4, 8, 10 Solution: 4+8 ? 10 > 4 + 10 12 > 10 True ? 8 > 8 + 10 14 > 8 True ? 4 > 18 > 4 True Conclusion: The sum of each pair of side lengths is greater than the third length. So, a triangle can have side lengths of 4, 8, and 10. b. 7, 9, 18 Solution: 7+9 ? 18 > 7 + 18 16 > 18 False ? 9 > 9 + 18 25 > 9 True ? 7 > 27 > 7 True Conclusion: Not all three inequalities are true. So, a triangle cannot have these three side lengths. Example 2: Find the range of values for x using the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Solution: x + 14 > 21 x>7 21 + 14 > x x + 21 > 14 35 > x x > -7 Ignore the inequality with a negative value since a triangle cannot have a negative side length. Combine the inequalities. So, the length of the third side is greater than 7 and less than 35, (7 < x < 35) Example 3: Find the range of values for x using the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Solution: DR. CHERRY ANN E. FRANCISCO AND MARIA HERMALYN L. BUHAIN MATH 8 QUARTER 4 WEEK 2 P a g e 4 | 11 (x + 2) + 10 > 12 (x + 2) + 12 > 10 10 + 12 > x + 2 x + 12 > 12 x + 14 > 10 22 > x + 2 x>0 x > -4 20 > x Combine the inequalities. Hence, 0 < x < 20. The length of the third side is greater than 0 and less than 20. 4. Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem to answer the following. Example 1: Show angles that is less than m∠ 4 Solution: By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, the exterior angle ∠ 4 is larger than either the two remote interior angles (∠ 1 and ∠ 2). Also, m∠ 4 + m∠ 3 = 180, and (m∠ 1 + m∠ 2) + m∠ 3 = 180. By transitivity, m∠ 4 = (m∠ 1 + m∠ 2). Therefore, ∠ 4 must be larger than each individual angle. By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, m∠ 𝟒 > 𝑚∠ 1 and m∠ 𝟒 > 𝒎∠ 𝟐. Answer: ∠ 𝟏, ∠ 𝟐 Example 2: Find the possible value of x. Solution: Find x ∠ 𝑥 > 500; ∠ 𝑥 > 600, however you know x = sum of the remote interior angle. Therefore, 600 < x < 1800. Example 3: Find the restrictions on x. Solution: 30 < 3x – 18 EAI Theorem 3x – 18 < 180 48 < 3x add both sides by 18 3x < 198 add both sides by 18 16 < x divide both sides by 3 x < 66 divide both sides by 3 Therefore, 16 < x < 66. Inequalities in Two Triangles: 1. Hinge Theorem or SAS Inequality Theorem ̅̅̅̅ and 𝑌𝑍 ̅̅̅̅. Example 1: Compare 𝐵𝐶 Solution: ̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝑋𝑌 ̅̅̅̅, 𝐴𝐶 ̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝑋𝑍 ̅̅̅̅ and 𝑚∠ 𝐵𝐴𝐶 > 𝑚∠𝑌𝑋𝑍; then 𝑩𝑪 ̅̅̅̅ > 𝒀𝒁 ̅̅̅̅. If 𝐴𝐵 Example 2: Compare ̅̅̅̅ 𝐸𝐹 and ̅̅̅̅ 𝐺𝐹. Solution: Compare the sides and angles in ∆ 𝐸𝐹𝐻 angles in ∆ GFH. m∠𝐺𝐻𝐹 = 1800 – 820 = 980. ̅̅̅̅ 𝐸𝐻 = ̅̅̅̅ 𝐺𝐻 ̅̅̅̅ 𝐹𝐻 = ̅̅̅̅ 𝐹𝐻 𝑚∠ 𝐸𝐻𝐹 > 𝑚∠𝐺𝐻𝐹. By the Hinge Theorem, ̅̅̅̅ 𝑬𝑭 < ̅̅̅̅̅ 𝑮𝑭. Example 3: Solve for the possible values of x. Solution: x + 23 > 3x + 9 (theorem) -2x > -14 (combine like terms) DR. CHERRY ANN E. FRANCISCO AND MARIA HERMALYN L. BUHAIN MATH 8 QUARTER 4 WEEK 2 3x + 9 > 0 3x > -9 (add both sides by -9) P a g e 5 | 11 x< 7 (divide both sides by -2) x > -3 (divide both sides by 3) Therefore, -3 < x < 7. 2. Converse of Hinge Theorem or SSS Inequality Theorem Example 1: Compare 𝑚∠ 𝐵𝐴𝐶 and 𝑚∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 Solution: Compare the side length in ∆ 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and ∆ ADC. ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐵 = ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐷 ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐶 = ̅̅̅̅ 𝐴𝐶 ̅̅̅̅ 𝐵𝐶 > ̅̅̅̅̅ 𝐷𝐶 By the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, m∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 > 𝑚∠𝐷𝐴𝐶. Example 2: Find the range of values for k. Solution: Step 1: Compare the side length in ∆ 𝑀𝐿𝑁 and ∆ PLN. ̅̅̅̅ 𝐿𝑁 = ̅̅̅̅ 𝐿𝑁 ̅̅̅̅ = ̅̅̅̅ 𝐿𝑀 𝐿𝑃 ̅̅̅̅̅ > ̅̅̅̅̅ 𝑀𝑁 𝑃𝑁 By the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, m∠𝑀𝐿𝑁 > 𝑚∠𝑃𝐿𝑁. 5k – 12 < 38 k < 10 (substitute the given values) (add 12 to both sides and divide by 5) Step 2: Since ∠𝑃𝐿𝑁 is in a triangle, m∠𝑃𝐿𝑁 > 00. 5k – 12 > 0 k < 2.4 (substitute the given values) (add 12 to both sides and divide by 5) Step 3: Combine the two inequalities. The range of values for k is 2.4 < k < 10. Activities ACTIVITY 1: MEASURES MATTERS! Directions: Given the illustrated triangles and corresponding measurements, A.
