Geometric Inequalities: What'S More

The document discusses geometric inequalities and properties of inequalities. It contains examples that illustrate properties like the transitive property of inequality and comparison property of inequality. It also contains geometry problems involving triangle congruence theorems and properties of perpendicular lines. The key ideas are using properties of inequalities to compare quantities and using triangle congruence theorems and properties of angles to prove geometric relationships.

b. If x = 72 and y = 73, then w = 145
c. If y = 54 and z = 68, then w = 112
d. If w = 112, then x = 58
e. If w = 150, then z = 30
f. If x = 25 and z = 90, then w = 90
g. If z = 90 then x = 25 and y = 65
