Review
■ Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem
– In any triangle, the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater
than the measure of either of the two remote interior angles.
■ Triangle Inequality Theorem
– In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two of its sides is greater
than the length of its third side.
■ Hinge Theorem
– If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another
triangle, but the included angle of the first triangle is larger than the
included triangle of the second triangle, then the third side of the first
triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.

Basic Properties of Inequalities
■ Addition Property of Inequality
– If a < b, then a + c < b + c.
– If a < b and c < d, then a+ c < b + d.
■ Subtraction Property of Inequality
– If a < b, then a - c < b - c.
■ Multiplication Property of Inequality
– If a < b and c > 0, then ac <bc.
■ Transitive Property of Inequality
– If a < b and b < c, then a < c.
■ Substitution Property of Inequality
– If a + b < c and b = d, then a + d < c.
