Exercise 31 Page 466

Identify congruent sides in the triangles.

m∠ ABC>m∠ DEF

Practice makes perfect

Let's copy the diagram and mark the angles we are asked to compare.

We can see that two sides of △ ABC are congruent to two sides of △ DEF. However, the third side of △ ABC is longer than the third side of △ DEF. AB&≅DE BC&≅EF CA&> FD According to the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, the included angle measure in △ ABC is greater than the included angle measure in △ DEF. m∠ ABC> m∠ DEF
