6. Inequalities in Two Triangles
Sign In
Use the Converse of the Hinge Theorem.
m∠ BGC
Let's highlight the angles we are asked to compare.
We will focus on triangles △ FBA and △ BGC and summarize what we know about the sides of these triangles.
| Claim | Justification |
|---|---|
| FB≅BG | Both segments have a measure of 10. |
| AB≅CG | Both segments have a measure of 11. |
| BC< FA | 4<10 |
The information in the table shows that triangles △ FBA and △ BGC have two pairs of congruent sides. This means that we can apply the Converse of the Hinge Theorem. BC< FA ⇓ m∠ BGC < m∠ FBA
