Triangle Inequality Theorems

The document discusses several triangle inequality theorems including differentiating triangle angles using side lengths, differentiating sides using angles, and using side measurements to prove triangles. It also includes questions and responses about comparing exterior and interior angles, locating the largest angle or shortest side, and determining if given sides can form a triangle.
