You used inequalities to make comparisons in one triangle.
• Apply the Hinge Theorem or its converse to make comparisons in two triangles.
• Prove triangle relationships using the Hinge Theorem or its converse.
Use the Hinge Theorem and Its Converse
A. Compare the measures AD and BD.
Answer: By the Hinge Theorem, mACD > mBCD, so AD > DB.
In ΔACD and ΔBCD, AC BC, CD CD, and mACD > mBCD.
Use the Hinge Theorem and Its Converse
B. Compare the measures mABD and mBDC.
Answer: By the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, mABD > mBDC.
In ΔABD and ΔBCD, AB CD, BD BD, and AD > BC.
A. FG > GH
B. FG < GH
C. FG = GH
D. not enough information
A. Compare the lengths of FG and GH.
A. mJKM > mKML
B. mJKM < mKML
C. mJKM = mKML
D. not enough information
B. Compare mJKM and mKML.
A. Meena’s kite
B. Rita’s kite
Meena and Rita are both flying kites in a field near their houses. Both are using strings that are 10 meters long. Meena’s kite string is at an angle of 75° with the ground. Rita’s kite string is at an angle of 65° with the ground. If they are both standing at the same elevation, which kite is higher in the air?
