Question
inequalities in one triangle; triangle inequality
use the figure at the right to determine the relationship between
the measures of the given angles.
- ( mangle qrw )__( mangle rwq ) 2. ( mangle rtw )__( mangle twr )
- ( mangle rst )__( mangle trs ) 4. ( mangle wqr )__( mangle qrw )
Step1: Recall the triangle - inequality theorem (angle - side relationship)
In a triangle, the larger side is opposite the larger angle.
Step2: Analyze \( \triangle QRW\)
In \( \triangle QRW\), \(QW = 45\), \(QR=47\). Since \(QR>QW\), the angle opposite \(QR\) (\( \angle RWQ\)) and the angle opposite \(QW\) (\( \angle QRW\)). So \(m\angle QRW In \( \triangle RTW\), \(RW = 34\), \(RT = 35\). Since \(RT > RW\), the angle opposite \(RT\) (\( \angle TWR\)) and the angle opposite \(RW\) (\( \angle RTW\)). So \(m\angle RTW In \( \triangle RST\), \(RS = 44\), \(RT = 22\). Since \(RS>RT\), the angle opposite \(RS\) (\( \angle TRS\)) and the angle opposite \(RT\) (\( \angle RST\)). So \(m\angle RST In \( \triangle QWR\), \(QW = 45\), \(RW = 34\). Since \(QW>RW\), the angle opposite \(QW\) (\( \angle QRW\)) and the angle opposite \(RW\) (\( \angle WQR\)). So \(m\angle WQR>m\angle QRW\)Step3: Analyze \( \triangle RTW\)
Step4: Analyze \( \triangle RST\)
Step5: Analyze \( \triangle QWR\)
