Inequalities Involving Angles of Triangles
Theorems 5-10 and 5-11 can be
treated as extending the Isosceles
Triangle Theorem and its converse
to the case of inequality. These
theorems enable students to prove
in Exercise 41 that the shortest
segment from a point to a line
is perpendicular to the line.
When you empty a container of juice into two
glasses, it is difﬁcult to be sure that the glasses
get equal amounts. You can be sure, however,
that each glass holds less than the original amount
in the container. This is a simple application
of the Comparison Property of Inequality.

Proof
Proof of the Corollary
Given: &1 is an exterior angle of the triangle.
Prove: m&1 . m&2 and m&1 . m&3.
Proof: By the Exterior Angle Theorem, m&1 = m&2 + m&3. Since m&2 . 0
and m&3 . 0, you can apply the Comparison Property of Inequality and
conclude that m&1 . m&2 and m&1 . m&3.

Indirect Proof of Theorem 5-11
Given: m&A . m&B
Prove: BC . AC
Step 2 If BC , AC, then m&A , m&B (Theorem 5-10). This contradicts the
given fact that m&A . m&B. Therefore, BC , AC must be false.
If BC = AC, then m&A = m&B (Isosceles Triangle Theorem). This also
contradicts m&A . m&B. Therefore, BC = AC must be false.

of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Given: #ABC
C
See margin.
Prove: AC + CB . AB
)
A
(Hint: On BC mark a point D not on BC, so that DC = AC.
Draw DA and use Theorem 5-11 with #ABD.)
34. lT is the largest l in
kPTA. Thus PA S PT
because the longest
side of a k is opp. the
largest l.

CD ≠ AC is given so
kACD is isosc. by def.
of isosc. k. This means
mlD ≠ mlCAD. Then
mlDAB S mlCAD by
the Comparison Prop.
of Ineq. So by subst.,
mlDAB S mlD and by
Thm. 5-11 DB S AB.
Since DC ± CB ≠ DB,
by subst.
DC ± CB S AB. Using
subst. again, AC ±
CB S AB.
