Which of the following points is the center of gravity of a triangle?

You found the relationship between the angle measures of a triangle. (Lesson 4–2)

• Recognize and apply properties of inequalities to the measures of the angles of a triangle.

• Recognize and apply properties of inequalities to the relationships between the angles and sides of a triangle.

Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

Since 11 and 9 are vertical angles, they have equal measure, so m14 > m9. m9 > m6 and m9 > m7, so m14 > m6 and m14 > m7.

By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, m14 > m4 and m14 > m11. In addition, m14 > m2 and m14 > m4 + m3, so m14 > m4 and m14 > m3.

Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

Use the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

By the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, m10 > m5 and m16 > m10, so m16 > m5. Since 10 and 12 are vertical angles, m12 > m5. m15 > m12, so m15 > m5. In addition, m17 > m5 + m6, so m17 > m5.

Identify Arithmetic Sequence

List the angles of ΔABC in order from smallest to largest.

Answer: C, A, B

The sides from the shortest to longest are AB, BC, and AC. The angles opposite these sides are C, A, and B respectively. So, according to the Angle-Side Relationship, the angles from smallest to largest are C, A, B.

Angle-Side Relationships

HAIR ACCESSORIES Ebony is following directions for folding a handkerchief to make a bandana for her hair. After she folds the handkerchief in half, the directions tell her to tie the two smaller angles of the triangle under her hair. If she folds the handkerchief with the dimensions shown, which two ends should she tie?

Angle-Side Relationships

Theorem 5.10 states that if one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side has a greater measure than the angle opposite the shorter side. Since X is opposite the longest side it has the greatest measure.

Answer: So, Ebony should tie the ends marked Y and Z.
