THE HINGE THEOREM and CONVERSE OF HINGE THEOREM

*HINGE THEOREM (SAS INEQUALITY THEOREM)

- If two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the
first triangle is greater than the included angle of the second triangle, then the third side of the first
triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.

Example:

1. 2.

S RS ≅ AB S WX ≅ YX

S RT ≅ AC S XZ ≅ XZ

A m ∠R >m ∠A A m ∠WXZ >m ∠YXZ

Therefore: ST > BC Therefore: WZ > YZ

Discussion
If the two sides of the two triangles are congruent then the included angle of the first triangle is
greater than the second triangle that means, the third side of the first triangle is greater than the
third side of the second triangle.

* CONVERSE OF HINGE THEOREM (SSS INEQUALITY THEOREM)

- If two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third side of the
first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle, then the included angle in the first
triangle is greater than the included angle of the second triangle.

Example:

RS ≅ AB WZ ≅ YZ
RT ≅ AC XZ ≅ XZ
ST > BC WX > YX
Therefore: m ∠R >m ∠A Therefore: m ∠WZX >m ∠YZX
Discussion
If the two sides of the two triangles are congruent, then the third side of the first triangle is greater
than the third side of the second triangle. That means the opposite angle of the third side of the first
triangle is larger than the opposite angle of the third side of the another triangle.

INEQUALITIES IN TRIANGLES
INEQUALITIES IN ONE TRIANGLES:
1. Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem
2. Triangle Inequality Theorem
3. Angle-Side Inequality Theorem
4. Side-Angle Inequality Theorem

INEQUALITIES IN TWO TRIANGLES:

1. Hinge Theorem (SAS Inequality Theorem)
2. Converse of The Hinge Theorem (SSS Inequality Theorem)

*The exterior angle inequality theorem, triangle inequality theorem, angle-

side inequality theorem and side-angle inequality theorem are inequalities in
one triangle while hinge theorem and converse of the hinge theorem are
inequalities in two triangles.
