Properties of Triangles
Unit 6
5.5 Inequalities in One Triangle
State Standards for Geometry6. Know and use the
Triangle Inequality Theorem.
13. Prove relationships between angles in a polygon.
Lesson Goals• Use triangle measurements
to decide which side is longest or which angle is largest.
• Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem to determine if 3 lengths can form a triangle, and find possible lengths of a 3rd side given two.
