Indirect proof of triangle inequality theorem 2

29/11/2021 Client: muhammad11 Deadline: 2 Day

324 Chapter 5 Relationships Within Triangles

Objective To use inequalities involving angles and sides of triangles

In the Solve It, you explored triangles formed by various lengths of board. You may have noticed that changing the angle formed by two sides of the sandbox changes the length of the third side.

Essential Understanding Th e angles and sides of a triangle have special relationships that involve inequalities.

Property Comparison Property of Inequality

If a 5 b 1 c and c . 0, then a . b.

For a neighborhood improvement project, you volunteer to help build a new sandbox at the town playground. You have two boards that will make up two sides of the triangular sandbox. One is 5 ft long and the other is 8 ft long. Boards come in the lengths shown. Which boards can you use for the third side of the sandbox? Explain.

Lesson 5-6 Inequalities in One Triangle 325

Th e Comparison Property of Inequality allows you to prove the following corollary to the Triangle Exterior Angle Th eorem (Th eorem 3-11).

Proof of the Corollary

Given: /1 is an exterior angle of the triangle.

Prove: m/1 . m/2 and m/1 . m/3.

Proof: By the Triangle Exterior Angle Th eorem, m/1 5 m/2 1 m/3. Since m/2 . 0 and m/3 . 0, you can apply the Comparison Property of Inequality and conclude that m/1 . m/2 and m/1 . m/3.

Applying the Corollary

Use the fi gure at the right. Why is ml2 S ml3?

In nACD, CB > CD, so by the Isosceles Triangle Th eorem, m/1 5 m/2. /1 is an exterior angle of nABD, so by the Corollary to the Triangle Exterior Angle Th eorem, m/1 . m/3. Th en m/2 . m/3 by substitution.

1. Why is m/5 . m/C?

You can use the corollary to Th eorem 3-11 to prove the following theorem.

Corollary Corollary to the Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem

Corollary Th e measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of each of its remote interior angles.

If . . . /1 is an exterior angle

Then . . . m/1 . m/2 and m/1 . m/3

How do you identify an exterior angle? An exterior angle must be formed by the extension of a side of the triangle. Here, /1 is an exterior angle of nABD, but /2 is not.

326 Chapter 5 Relationships Within Triangles

Using Theorem 5-10

A town park is triangular. A landscape architect wants to place a bench at the corner with the largest angle. Which two streets form the corner with the largest angle?

Hollingsworth Road is the longest street, so it is opposite the largest angle. MLK Boulevard and Valley Road form the largest angle.

2. Suppose the landscape architect wants to place a drinking fountain at the corner with the second largest angle. Which two streets form the corner with the second-largest angle?

Th eorem 5-11 below is the converse of Th eorem 5-10. Th e proof of Th eorem 5-11 relies on indirect reasoning.

Indirect Proof of Theorem 5-11

Given: m/A . m/B

Prove: BC . AC

Step 1 Assume temporarily that BC 6 AC . Th at is, assume temporarily that either BC , AC or BC 5 AC .

Step 2 If BC , AC , then m/A , m/B (Th eorem 5-10). Th is contradicts the given fact that m/A . m/B. Th erefore, BC , AC must be false.

If BC 5 AC , then m/A 5 m/B (Isosceles Triangle Th eorem). Th is also contradicts m/A . m/B. Th erefore, BC 5 AC must be false.

Step 3 Th e temporary assumption BC 6 AC is false, so BC . AC .

328 Chapter 5 Relationships Within Triangles

Finding Possible Side Lengths

Algebra In the Solve It, you explored the possible dimensions of a triangular sandbox. Two of the sides are 5 ft and 8 ft long. What is the range of possible lengths for the third side?

Let x represent the length of the third side. Use the Triangle Inequality Th eorem to write three inequalities. Th en solve each inequality for x.

x 1 5 . 8 x 1 8 . 5 5 1 8 . x

x . 3 x . 23 x , 13

Numbers that satisfy x . 3 and x . 23 must be greater than 3. So, the third side must be greater than 3 ft and less than 13 ft.

5. A triangle has side lengths of 4 in. and 7 in. What is the range of possible lengths for the third side?

The lengths of two sides of the triangle are 5 ft and 8 ft.

The range of possible lengths of the third side

Use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to write three inequalities. Use the solutions of the inequalities to determine the greatest and least possible lengths.
