If the three sides of the first triangle is congruent to its corresponding sides on
the second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Short lines (hatches)
are used to mark congruent sides.

Example 3. Given the figure below, write an inequality and
determine
If the three the

𝑅 𝐸>𝐶 𝐴
∠ 𝑅𝐴𝐸 >∠ 𝐶 E 𝐴
H I K L
△GHI ≅ △JKL
∠ A >∠ E
If the three sides of the first triangle is congruent to its corresponding sides on
the second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Short lines (hatches)
are used to mark congruent sides.

Since the sum of all the measurement of the angles of
a triangle is 180°, the value of x will not be exceeded
to 180°

△GHI ≅ △JKL
∠ 𝑀 > ∠ 𝑆 .
Example 6: Given the figure below, write an inequality and
determine
If the three the

So, the possible values of x is greater than 4.

Questions:
1. Do the lengths of the hands
J of the clock change as the time (hour) changes?
2. What do you observe about the measures of the angles formed by the hands of the
H S L M P Q
clock at different hours?
3. What affects the measure of the distance between the tips of the hands of the clock?
Which of the following pairs of triangles are congruent?
Explain.
