Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem
Since 11 and 9 are vertical angles, they have equal measure, so m14 > m9. m9 > m6 and m9 > m7, so m14 > m6 and m14 > m7.
By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, m14 > m4 and m14 > m11. In addition, m14 > m2 and m14 > m4 + m3, so m14 > m4 and m14 > m3.
Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem
By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, m10 > m5 and m16 > m10, so m16 > m5. Since 10 and 12 are vertical angles, m12 > m5. m15 > m12, so m15 > m5. In addition, m17 > m5 + m6, so m17 > m5.
Identify Arithmetic Sequence
List the angles of ΔABC in order from smallest to largest.
Answer: C, A, B
The sides from the shortest to longest are AB, BC, and AC. The angles opposite these sides are C, A, and B respectively. So, according to the Angle-Side Relationship, the angles from smallest to largest are C, A, B.
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
A. X, T, V
B. X, V, T
C. V, T, X
D. T, V, X
List the angles of ΔTVX in order from smallest to largest.
Order Triangle Side Lengths
List the sides of ΔABC in order from shortest to longest.
Answer: AC, AB, BC
The angles from smallest to largest are B, C, and A. The sides opposite these angles are AC, AB, and BC, respectively. So, the sides from shortest to longest are AC, AB, BC.
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
List the sides of ΔRST in order from shortest to longest.
A. RS, RT, ST
B. RT, RS, ST
C. ST, RS, RT
D. RS, ST, RT
Angle-Side Relationships
HAIR ACCESSORIES Ebony is following directions for folding a handkerchief to make a bandana for her hair. After she folds the handkerchief in half, the directions tell her to tie the two smaller angles of the triangle under her hair. If she folds the handkerchief with the dimensions shown, which two ends should she tie?
Angle-Side Relationships
Theorem 5.10 states that if one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side has a greater measure than the angle opposite the shorter side. Since X is opposite the longest side it has the greatest measure.
Answer: So, Ebony should tie the ends marked Y and Z.
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
A. A and DB. B and FC. C and ED. A and B
KITE ASSEMBLY Tanya is following directions for making a kite. She has two congruent triangular pieces of fabric that need to be sewn together along their longest side. The directions say to begin sewing the two pieces of fabric together at their smallest angles. At which two angles should she begin sewing?
