Consider the Converse of the Hinge Theorem. Remember that since two sides have the same length, they are congruent.
- 4/7 < x < 136/7
We will start by looking closer at the given triangles. Note that if two sides have the same length, they are congruent. Let's mark it on the diagram.
If two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third side in one of the triangles is longer than the third side in the other triangle, then the included angle in first triangle is larger than the included angle of the second triangle. |
