Side – Angle Relationship Theorem
Triangle Inequality Theorem 1:
Ss → Aa: The longest side is opposite the largest angle.
Ss → Aa: The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.
Triangle Inequality Theorem 2:

Aa → Ss: The smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.
Using these relationships, we can arrange the sides from longest to shortest
following the angles listed from largest to smallest, respectively.

THEN Largest to smallest angle: C, A, B
or
IF Largest to smallest angle: C, A, B

Let’s try forming a triangle using the sticks given above.
We noticed that as we shorten the third stick, we can form a triangle but up
to what extent? Using the 9cm and 6cm sticks, what should be the length of the
third stick so that it will not be possible to form a triangle? Let’s create a table.
Can you
st nd rd
1 stick 2 stick 3 stick form a
triangle? 1st stick + 2nd stick = 3rd stick
9cm 6cm 15cm No
9cm 6cm 14cm Yes
9cm 6cm 13cm Yes
9cm 6cm 12cm Yes
9cm 6cm 11cm Yes
9cm 6cm 10cm Yes
1st stick + 2nd stick > 3rd stick
9cm 6cm 9cm Yes
1st stick + 3rd stick > 2nd stick
9cm 6cm 8cm Yes 2nd stick + 3rd stick > 1st stick
9cm 6cm 7cm Yes
9cm 6cm 6cm Yes
9cm 6cm 5cm Yes
9cm 6cm 4cm Yes
9cm 6cm 3cm No 2nd stick + 3rd stick = 1st stick
Using the table shown above, we can now conclude that the sum of the
lengths of the two sticks must always be greater than the length of the other stick
to form a triangle. We can also say that we cannot form a triangle if the sum of the
lengths of the two sticks is equal or less than the length of the other stick. We now
come up with the triangle inequality theorem if we consider the sticks as the sides
of a triangle.

C 48 70
B D
The measure of the exterior angle must be equal to 110.

An exterior angle of a triangle is an
exterior
angle formed by one side of the triangle and the angle
extension of an adjacent side of the triangle.
Here’s the trick:
mA plus mC is equal to the exterior angle. exterior
angle
(48 + 62 = 110)
You can also use the definition of linear exterior
pair and supplementary angles. angle
If ABC and ABD are linear pair, then they are
supplementary which must have a sum equal to
180. Thus, we can use the equation
mABC + mABD = 180.
70 + mABD = 180
70 + mABD – 70 = 180 – 70
mABD = 180– 70
mABD = 110
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, right?
Now, we can call this as the Exterior Angle Theorem.

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite
interior angles.

Have you noticed that there is a relationship between the angle of the
triangle and its opposite side? Yes, the triangle with a 25-degree angle should have
the side that measures 7cm. Likewise, the other triangle whose one of the angle
measures 42 should have 10cm as the length of its opposite side.

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.

Triangle Inequality Theorem 3:
In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two of its sides is greater than
the length of its third side.
To further understand the triangle inequality theorem involving its sides, let
us solve the given problems on the illustrative examples.
Examples:
1. Two sides of the triangle measures 11 units and 8 units respectively. Find the
range of the possible measures of the third side.
Step 1: Let x be the representation of the third side.
Step 2: Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem,
11 + 8 > x 8 + x > 11
19 > x x > 11 – 8
x>3
Step 3: Rewriting 19 > x and x > 3 will be 3 < x <19
Shortcut Method:
Notice that the difference of 11 and 8 is 3. And the sum of 8 and 11 is 19.
So you can do this shortcut.
11 – 8 < x < 11 + 8
3 < x < 19
2. The length of RC and CL are 14 cm and 11 cm respectively. What is the range of
the values of LR ?
Shortcut Method:
14 cm – 11 cm < LR < 14 cm + 11 cm
3 cm < LR < 25 cm

given condition.

2. Angles that are greater than m2. 1
Answer: 4 and 5
We can recall from the previous learning activity sheet that the hinge
theorem involves inequality of two triangles each having two congruent sides. If the
included angle of the first angle is larger than the angles on the other triangle, then
the third side opposite the larger angle is longer than the third side opposite the
smaller angle. Try analysing the given illustrative example applying the hinge
theorem.
Example: M

Write an inequality, or set of inequalities
to describe the possible values for x. 16

4x > 24 4x < 184 21 20 18

In the previous module, you learned how to prove the properties of
parallel lines cut by a transversal and the measurement of the pairs of
angles formed. Parallel lines cut by a transversal are evident in a real-life
situation like roads and railway crossing, window screens, staircase and the
railings, roadmaps of towns and cities, badminton, tennis or volleyball net,
score sheets, rule notebook and ledgers, checkered dress and stripes and
many more presented in the illustration below.
Did you know that the idea that parallel lines exist and are unique is
a fundamental principle in Geometry?

Figure 1
In Figure 1, the dashed line represents the only line that can be
drawn parallel to line m such that it passes through the point A.
From this condition, a parallel postulate was concluded.
Two segments are parallel if and only if the lines containing them are
also parallel.

The city mayor would like to build a carnival in your hometown. The purpose
of this project is to boost the town’s economy, to promote tourism, and to reduce
the number of unemployed graduates.
You are a member of the city planning team and your job is to create a
vicinity map to show the location of the carnival. The vicinity map you will create
will be put at the back of the flyers to be distributed one week before the opening of
the carnival.
You should follow the following guidelines in creating the vicinity map:
1. Parallel lines, transversal lines, and perpendicular lines should be evident in
your vicinity map;
2. Special angle pairs are marked specifically by placing buildings as trademarks;
3. Each street and building should be labelled; and
4. The location of the carnival should be easy to find.
You are going to submit your work to the head of the city planning
department for evaluation under the following criteria: (1) presentation of the
vicinity map; (2) accuracy; and (3) explanation.
