“Will you state Triangle Inequality Theorem 3.” “The Triangle Inequality Theorem 3 states that
the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a
triangle is greater than the measure of the third
side.”

Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem.

D. Development of the Lesson

Let us first recall the definition of interior and

exterior angle of a triangle.

L

  
M N P

“By extending MN of LMN to a point P, MP is

formed. As a result, LNP forms a linear pair
with , LNM. Because it forms a linear pair with
one of the angles of LMN, LNP is referred to as
an exterior angle of LMN. The angles non-
adjacent to LNP, L and M, are called remote
interior angles of exterior LNP.

In the triangle shown, 4, 5 and 6 are exterior

angles. The remote interior angles of 4 are 2 and
3; of 5, 1 and 3; of 6, 1 and 2.

In this example,

1
Exterior angle= angle BCD or angle 1
Remote interior angles= angle A and angle B
A C D

E
Exterior angle= angle EFG or angle 2
Remote interior angles= angle D and angle E
2
D F G

kindly identify the exterior angles and its remote

interior angles.”
“Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem states that,
“Anyone please read the statement of Exterior ‘An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than
Angle Inequality Theorem written on the board.” either of the non-adjacent interior angles.”

“Ma’am angle EFG is greater than angle D and

“Thank you ______. Let’s say in triangle ABC, the angle E.”
statement only says that angle BCD > angle A and
angle B. How about in triangle DEF?”

“Great! See this figure,

 E

H Y
S

To determine the measure of the third angle, just

add the two given angles and then subtract to
180°. Here the measure of angle Y is 28°.

Since angle HYE and angle HYS form a linear pair,

the sum of their measures is equal to 180°.

To get the measure of angle HYS, just subtract

the third angle. Here we get 152°.

Now, try to answer your workbook page 126 to

127.

E. Generalization

“Very good! I see that you already understand

our topic.”
