Activity 9

Materials Needed: ruler, manila paper

Procedures:
1) Replicate the activity table on a piece of a manila paper.
2) Measure using ruler the sides opposite the angles with given sizes. Indicate
the lengths (in mm) on your table.
3) develop the relationship of the angles of a triangle and the lengths of the sides
opposite them by answering the questions below on a piece of manila paper.

1) Is there a relationship between the size and the length of the side
opposite to it?
Yes, there is.

No, there isnt.

2) Making Conjecture: what is the relationship between the angles of a

triangle and the sides opposite them?

When one angle of triangle is larger than the second angle, the side
opposite the _________________________________________________________.

3) Your findings in no. 2 describe Triangle Inequality Theorem 2. Write it

in if-then form.

4) What is the relationship of the largest angle of a triangle and the side
opposite it?
5) What is the relationship of the smallest angle of a triangle and the side
opposite it?

6) Arrange in increasing order the angles of the triangle in this activity

according to measurement.
