Application of Triangle Inequality Theorem
Grade 8
CONTENT STANDARD
 Demonstrate understanding of key concepts of inequalities in a triangle, and parallel and
perpendicular lines.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
 can communicate mathematical thinking with coherence and clarity in formulating,
investigating, analyzing, and solving real life problems involving triangle inequalities, and
parallelism and perpendicularity of lines using appropriate and accurate representations.
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson at least 75% the students are expected to:
a. compute for length of the three sides of a triangle using inequality triangle;
b. define triangle inequality theorem; and
c. apply the triangle inequality theorem to worded problems such as hiking and traveling.

f. Concepts:

Inequalities in One Triangle:

 Triangle Inequality theorem 1 (Ss-Aa)

If one side of a triangle is longer than a second side, then the angle opposite the first side is
larger than the angle opposite the second side.
 Triangle Inequality Theorem 2 (Aa-Ss)
If one angle of a triangle is larger than a second angle, then the side opposite the first angle
is longer the side opposite the second angle.
 Triangle Inequality Theorem 3 (s1+S2>S3)
 The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third
side.
 Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem

The Measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either
remote interior angle.

Inequalities in two Triangles:

 Hinge Theorem or SAS Inequality Theorem

If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides are congruent to two sides of another
triangle, but the included angle of the first triangle is greater than the included angle of the
second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second.

 Converse of Hinge Theorem or SSS inequality Theorem

If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, but the third side of the
first triangle is longer than the third side of the second, then the included angle of the first is
larger than the included angle of the second.
