NTI Day 8 - Triangle Inequality Theorem

Front

What is the Triangle Inequality Theorem?

Back

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

List the side measures in order from shortest to longest for the sides QM, QP, MP, MQ.

Back

MQ, MP, QP

Front

How do you identify the smallest angle in a triangle?

Back

The smallest angle in a triangle is opposite the shortest side.

Front

Which triangle congruence theorem can be used to prove triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle are known?

Back

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) theorem.

Front

Identify the smallest angle in a triangle with angles ∠K, ∠L, ∠M.

Back

∠L is the smallest angle.

Front

Identify the largest angle in a triangle with angles ∠N, ∠Q, ∠P.

Back

∠P is the largest angle.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a method to prove triangle congruence.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a method to prove triangle congruence.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a method to prove triangle congruence.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides and angles in a triangle?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the opposite side.
