  1. 5.7 Inequalities in Two Triangles • The Hinge Theorem (SAS Inequality Theorem) • If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angles are not congruent, then the longer third side is opposite the larger included angle.

  2. Using the Hinge Theorem • Which of the following statements must be true? • AS < YU • SK > YU • SK < YU • AK = YU The answer is B. SK > YU

  3. Converse of the Hinge Theorem (SSS Inequality) • If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third sides are not congruent, then the larger included angle is opposite the longer third side.

  4. Using the Converse of the Hinge Theorem • What is the range of the possible values for x?

  5. Using the Converse of the Hinge Theorem • Step 1 – Find an upper limit for the value of x. RS > TS 60 > 5x – 20 80 > 5x 16 > x • Step 2 – Find a lower limit for the value of x. 5x – 20 > 0 5x > 20 x > 4 So, 4 < x < 16.

  6. More Practice!!!!! • Homework – Textbook p. 336 - 337 # 1 – 14, 16 – 18 ALL
