LESSON PLAN Kiea Brown Geometry (5.6/5.7)

Objective: SWBAT use and apply inequalities involving angles and sides of triangles. Application of SAS inequality and SSS inequality to form conclusions about two triangles. (day 32-HONORS)

Warm-Up: SOL and review questions/attendance/checkhw

Presentation: “Triangle Inequalities”……….Storytime

Theorem: The segment from a point to a line is the shortest segment. Draw a picture.

Activity: Protractor, Ruler, Notebook paper (Work together in pairs)

1. Draw a scalene triangle on a sheet of paper or on the dry erase board.

Label the triangle as .

2. Each side of the triangle is measure in ______(what units) and each angle in ______(what units).

Now name each side of the triangle: ______, ______, ______

Now name each angle of the triangle: ______, ______, ______

3. Draw a square around the measure of the longest side.

Draw a square around the angle that lies opposite the longest side.

Make a conjecture about the measures of the angles based upon the measure of the opposite sides.

4. Raise your hand when you have finished for your classgrade 

Theorem-In a , if two angles are not congruent then larger side is opposite the larger angle.

(The converse is also true)

In a , if two sides are not congruent then the larger angle is opposite the longer side.

(The converse is also true)

Ex: Name in descending order.

1.2.3.

Theorem- in a the lengths of any two sides must be larger than the third side to form a triangle.

Example-Can the be formed?

4. 7, 7 , 95. 6, 4, 26. 11, 5, 87. 4, 10, 6

Between what two values must the third side lie?

8. 8 and 99. 6 and 1510. 12 and 711. 2.3 and 9.2

SAS inequality- if 2 sides of one are to 2 sides of another and the included angles are not the side opposite the largest < will be greatest.

11.12.13.14.

SSS inequality- if 2 sides of one to 2 sides of another, but the third side of one is greater than the 3rd side the angle opposite the larger side is larger.

15. 16.17.

SAS inequalitydraw conclusions about sides SSS inequality draw conclusions about angles

Class Exercises: use power point examples
