G8 Quarter 4 Week 3

This document provides an overview of proving inequalities in triangles. It begins by listing five triangle inequality theorems: 1) the triangle inequality theorem that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side, 2) the converse of theorem 1, 3) the exterior angle theorem, 4) the exterior angle inequality theorem, and 5) the hinge theorem relating angles and sides in two triangles. The document then provides examples of applying these theorems to prove various inequalities in triangles. It concludes by referencing additional resources on the topic.
