6. Inequalities in Two Triangles
Sign In
Identify congruent sides in the triangles.
JK>HJ
Let's copy the diagram and highlight the segments we are asked to compare.
We can see that two sides of △ JKL are congruent to two sides of △ JKH. However, the included angle in △ JKL is larger than the included angle in △ JKH. JK≅JK KH≅KL m∠ JKL> m∠ JKH By the Hinge Theorem, the third side of △ JKL is longer than the third side of △ JKH. JK> HJ
