Triangle Inequalities and Angle Relationships

Mrs. Boyd introduces the concept of inequalities in triangles, focusing on the angle-side relationship. She explains how to list angles from least to greatest based on side lengths and compares angles and sides in different triangles. The video also covers the exterior angle inequality, emphasizing the relationship between interior and exterior angles. Throughout, Mrs. Boyd provides examples and encourages students to apply these concepts in their homework.
