WHAT'S NEW?

Today, let's learn another theorem about Triangles!

Austin and Adrian are hiking. They both started at the main station and walked in opposite directions for 20 meters. Then, Austin turned right at an angle of 40°, while Adrian also turned right at an angle of 80°. They each continued hiking for another 10 meters before stopping to rest.
Who is farther from the main station?

CAN YOU ILLUSTRATE THE PROBLEM?

Austin and Adrian are hiking. They both started at the main station and walked in opposite directions for 20 meters. Then, Austin turned right at an angle of 40°, while Adrian also turned right at an angle of 80°. They each continued hiking for another 10 kimeters before stopping to rest.

1. How do you think the angle of their turn affects their final position?

   
   

2. Adrian turned at a larger angle than Austin. What do you think happens to the distance they traveled from the starting point?

THE HINGE THEOREM

a movable joint or mechanism on which a door, gate, or lid swings as it opens and closes or which connects linked objects.

THE HINGE THEOREM

If two sides of a 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 triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.

CONVERSE OF THE HINGE THEOREM

If two sides of a 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 in the first triangle is greater than the included angle in the second triangle.

CONVERSE OF THE HINGE THEOREM

Austin and Adrian are hiking. They both started at the main station and walked in opposite directions for 20 kilometers. Then, Austin turned right at an angle of 40°, while Adrian also turned right at an angle of 80°. They each continued hiking for another 10 kilometers before stopping to rest.

ASSIGNMENT

Which Door is More Convenient?

1. Pick two doors at home (e.g., bedroom vs. main door).

2. Estimate or measure:

• The two fixed side lengths (hinge to edge).

• The angle at which each door opens.

• The distance from the door’s edge to the wall (third side).

3. Compare the doors using the Hinge Theorem:

• Which door creates a longer third side?

• Which one allows for easier passage?

4. Explain your answer and suggest the best door opening angle for small spaces.
