6. Inequalities in Two Triangles
Sign In
Identify congruent sides in the triangles.
m∠ XWZ > m∠ YZW
Let's copy the diagram and mark the angles we are asked to compare.
We can see that two sides of △ XWZ are congruent to two sides of △ YZW. However, the third side of △ XWZ is longer than the third side of △ YZW. XW&≅YZ WZ&≅WZ ZX&> WY According to the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, the included angle measure in △ XWZ is greater than the included angle measure in △ YZW. m∠ XWZ> m∠ YZW
