1 3 2 • Why are relationships important in understanding structures? Motivation Learning Targets • Determine relationships between angles and sides of a triangle. • Apply triangle inequalities to solve real-life problems. Essential Question Introduction (5 minutes) • Present real-world structures (e.g., bridges, roofs, support beams) and discuss stability through triangular formations.
• Measure angles opposite given lengths using a protractor and record in a table. • Discover the relationship between side lengths and opposite angles and document findings. • Protractor, ruler Interaction (30 minutes) Activity A: Investigate Me! Procedures • What is the relationship between the sides of a triangle and the angles opposite them? • Write the Triangle Inequality Theorem in if-then form. Making Conjecture • Directions: Use the figure below to answer the questions that follow. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. • What is the included side in ∠B and ∠C? in ∠E and ∠F? • What is the included angle in 𝐴𝐶̅̅̅̅ and 𝐵𝐶̅̅̅? in 𝐷𝐹̅̅̅̅ and 𝐸𝐹̅̅̅̅? • What is the sum of the interior angles of ∆ABC? ∆DEF? • If ∠B ≅ ∠E, and ∠C ≅ ∠F, what additional information is required to tell that the triangles are congruent using SAS Congruence? • If 𝐴𝐶̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐷𝐹̅̅̅̅ and ̅𝐵𝐶̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐸𝐹̅̅̅̅, what additional information is required to tell that the triangles are congruent using SSS Congruence? Activity B: Materials Needed
2 3 5 1 4 Angle-Side Relationship Theorem • If two sides are congruent and the third side of the first triangle is longer, then the included angle is larger. Discussion • The sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the remaining side. Converse of Hinge Theorem or SSS Inequality Theorem Triangle Inequality Theorem • An exterior angle is greater than either remote interior angle. • Larger angle opposite larger side; larger side opposite larger angle. Hinge Theorem or SAS Inequality Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem • If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, the third side of the first triangle is longer if the included angle is greater.
