Triangle Inequalities

The relationships between the sides and the angles of a triangle are expressed using inequalities.

Theorem. Side-Angle Inequality Theorem
If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the larger angle lies opposite the longer side.

Restatement
In ΔABC, if BC>AB then m∠A>m∠C.

Given: ΔABC with BC>AB
Prove: m∠BAC>m∠ACB
Proof:
