6. Inequalities in Two Triangles
Sign In
Identify congruent sides in the triangles.
m∠ DGE > m∠ BAC
Let's copy the diagram and mark the angles we are asked to compare.
We can see that two sides of △ DGE are congruent to two sides of △ BAC. However, the third side of △ DGE is longer than the third side of △ BAC. DG &≅ BA GE &≅ AC ED&> BC According to the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, the included angle measure in △ DGE is greater than the included angle measure in △ BAC. m∠ DGE> m∠ BAC
