Question

1. matching.

theorem 5.5b states that if the measure of one angle of a triangle is greater than the measure
of another angle, then the side the angle with the greater
measure will be longer than the side opposite the angle with the
measure.

1. choose the correct inequality or expression.

a does not equal b

○ $a \geq b$

○ $a \
eq b$

○ $a > b$

○ $a < b$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each option

• Option \( a \geq b \): means \( a \) is greater than or equal to \( b \), not "does not equal".
• Option \( a

eq b \): the symbol \(
eq \) means "does not equal", which matches the description "a does not equal b".

• Option \( a > b \): means \( a \) is greater than \( b \), not "does not equal".
• Option \( a < b \): means \( a \) is less than \( b \), not "does not equal".

Answer:

B. \( a
eq b \) (assuming the second option is labeled as B, with the option text \( a
eq b \))
