Basic Inequality Symbols and Concepts

  • The symbol '>' means 'is greater than' (Example: 5 > 3)
  • The symbol '<' means 'is less than' (Example: 2 < 7)
  • In triangles, there are special relationships between sides and their opposite angles
2

Theorem 3: Unequal Sides and Opposite Angles

  • If two sides of a triangle are unequal, the greater side has the greater angle opposite to it
  • This theorem helps us determine angle relationships when we know side lengths
  • The proof involves constructing an equal side and using properties of isosceles triangles
3

Theorem 4: Unequal Angles and Opposite Sides

  • If two angles of a triangle are unequal, the greater angle has the greater side opposite to it
  • This is the converse of Theorem 3
  • When we know angle measurements, we can determine side relationships
4

Theorem 5: Perpendicular is the Shortest Distance

  • Of all lines drawn from an external point to a straight line, the perpendicular is the shortest
  • This theorem establishes the concept of shortest distance
  • Any oblique line from the point to the line will be longer than the perpendicular
