    This document contains a lesson on inequalities in triangles and indirect proof. It includes definitions of key vocabulary like side opposite and inequality. It presents theorems like if one side of a triangle is longer than another, the angle opposite the longer side is larger. It provides examples of using the triangle inequality theorem to determine if a set of lengths could be a triangle's sides. It also introduces indirect proof and shows an example proof that the sum of two odd numbers is even.

    Triangle Inequality Theorem The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is
    greater than the length of the third side.

    AB + BC > AC

    BC + AC > AB
    AB + AC> BC

    Can 8, 16, and 7 be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?


    Why or why not?

    16
    7

    The answer is NO
    Because of the Triangle Inequality, the sum of the lengths of any
    two sides of a triangle is greater than the third
    8 + 16 > 7 and 7+ 16 > 8
    But 8 + 7 is not greater than 16. So 8, 7,and 16 cannot be the lengths
    of the sides of a triangle

    Can 8, 16, and 7 be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?


    Why or why not?

    3
    7

    The answer is YES


    Because of the Triangle Inequality, the sum of the lengths of any
    two sides of a triangle is greater than the third
    3 + 7 > 9, 3+ 9 > 7, 9+ 7 > 3

    A triangle has one side of length 12 and another of length 8. Describe the
    possible lengths of the third side.
    Use the Triangle Inequality Theorem and substitute x for the unknown side.
    AB + BC > AC

    BC + AC > AB

    AB + AC> BC

    x + 8 > 12

    8 + 12 > x

    x >4

    20 > x or x < 20

    The length of the third side must be greater than 4 and less than 20.

    A triangle has one side of length 11 and another of length 15. Describe the
    possible lengths of the third side.
    Use the Triangle Inequality Theorem and substitute x for the unknown side.
    AB + BC > AC

    BC + AC > AB

    AB + AC> BC

    x + 11 > 15

    11 + 15 > x

    x >4

    26 > x or x < 26

    The length of the third side must be greater than 4 and less than 26.

    Inequalities in Two Triangles and Indirect Proof

    5.6

    Warm-up
    Write the if-then statement, converse, inverse, and contrapositive
    of the given statement for 3x - 8 = 22 because x = 10.
    If x = 10, then 3x - 8 = 22.
    If 3x - 8 = 22, then x = 10.
    If x = 10, then 3x - 8 = 22.
    If 3x - 8 = 22, then x = 10

    Theorems
    Theorem 5.13 -

    Hinge Theorem

    If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another


    triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the
    included angle of the second, then the third side of the first is
    longer than the third side of the second.

    Theorems
    Theorem 5.14 -

    Converse of the Hinge Theorem

    If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another


    triangle, and the third side of the first is longer than the third
    side of the second, then the included angle of the first is larger
    than the included angle of the second.

    Two runners start together and run in opposite directions. Each one goes
    1.5 miles, changes direction, and goes 2.4 miles. The first runner starts due
    north and turns 100 towards the east. The other runner starts due south
    and turns 130 towards the west. Both runners return to the starting
    point. Which runner ran farther? Explain how you determined your answer.

    Each path that both runners take will create a triangle with two congruent
    sides. By the Hinge Theorem the third side of the first runner is longer.
    So runner 1 ran further.

    Two groups of bikers leave the same camp heading in opposite directions.
    Each group goes 2 miles, then changes direction and goes 1.2 miles. Group
    A starts due east and then turns 45 toward north. Group B starts due west
    and then turns 30 toward south. Which group is farther from camp?
    Explain your reasoning.

    Group B is further from camp by the Hinge Theorem.

    Inequalities in Two Triangles and Indirect Proof

    Vocabulary
    Indirect Proof - To make a temporary assumption that the desired
    conclusion is false. Then showing that is assumption
    leads to a logical impossibility, you prove the
    original statement true by contradiction.

    3 Steps for an Indirect Proof


    1. Assume that the opposite of what you want to prove is true.
    2. Use logical reasoning to reach a contradiction of an earlier statement,
    then state the assumption you made was false.
    3. State that what you want to prove must be true.

    Write an Indirect Proof


    Given a and b are odd numbers. Prove a + b is an even number.
    1. Assume that the opposite of what you want to prove is true.
    Assume a + b is not even therefore a + b is odd.
    2. Use logical reasoning to reach a contradiction of an earlier statement,
    then state the assumption you made was false.
    If a is odd then a = 2m + 1 and b is b = 2n + 1 therefore
    a + b = 2m + 1 + 2n +1
    = 2m + 2n + 2
    = 2(m+ n) + 2
    Which is an even number, this contradicts the assumption that
    a + b is odd

    Write an Indirect Proof


    Given a and b are odd numbers. Prove a + b is an even number.
    3. State that what you want to prove must be true.
    The assumption that a + b is odd must be false. Therefore, a + b
    must be an even number.

    Write an Indirect Proof


    Suppose you want to prove that hamburgers are not being served in
    the cafeteria today but you know that hamburgers are served on
    Tuesdays and today is Tuesday.
    1. Assume that the opposite of what you want to prove is true.
    Today we are have hamburgers for lunch because today is Tuesday.
    2. Use logical reasoning to reach a contradiction of an earlier statement,
    then state the assumption you made was false.
    There is always ketchup on the table but I didnt see any today.
    3. State that what you want to prove must be true.
    My assumption that we are having hamburgers must be false.
