6-1 Inequalities
Objectives
• Apply properties of inequality to positive numbers, lengths of segments, and measures of angles
• State and use the Exterior
Angle Inequality Theorem.

Law of Trichotomy
• The "Law of Trichotomy" says that only one of the following is true

• Alex Has Less Money Than Billy or
• Alex Has the same amount of money that Billy has or

Equalities vs Inequalities
• To this point we have dealt with congruent– Segments– Angles– Triangles– Polygons
![Page 6: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Equalities vs Inequalities
• In this chapter we will work with– segments having unequal lengths– Angles having unequal measures

A review of some properties of inequalities
• When you use any of these in a proof, you can write as your reason, A property of Inequality
![Page 10: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. If a < b, then a + c < b + c
![Page 11: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If a < b, then a + c < b + c
Alex has less coins than Billy.
• If both Alex and Billy get 3 more coins each, Alex will still have less coins than Billy.
Example
![Page 12: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Likewise
• If a < b, then a − c < b − c
• If a > b, then a + c > b + c, and
• If a > b, then a − c > b − c
So adding (or subtracting) the same value to both a and b will not change the inequality
![Page 13: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. If a < b, and c is positive, then ac < bc
![Page 14: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Likewise
• If a < b, and c is positive, then a < b c c
![Page 15: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• So multiplying (or dividing) the same value to both a and b will no change the inequality if c is POSITIVE !
![Page 16: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3. If a < b, and c is negative, then ac > bc (inequality swaps over!)
![Page 17: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Likewise
• If a < b, and c is negative, then a > b
c c
![Page 18: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• So multiplying (or dividing) the same value to both a and b will change the inequality if c is NEGATIVE !
![Page 19: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. If a < b and b < c, then a < c
![Page 20: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
If a < b and b < c, then a < c
1.) If Alex is younger than Billy and
2.) Billy is younger than Carol,
Then Alex must be younger than Carol also!

5. If a = b + c and c is > 0, then a > b and a > c
![Page 22: Chapter 6 Inequalities in Geometry](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/568134a6550346895d9baf8d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

It’s a funny thing
• This part of geometry is called LOGIC, however, if you try and “think logically” you will usually get the question wrong.
• Let me show you

UUGGGHHH more proofs
• Up until now the proofs that you have written have been direct proofs.
• Sometimes it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a direct proof.

Indirect Proof
• Are used when you can’t use a direct proof.
• BUT, people use indirect proofs everyday to figure out things in their everyday lives.
• 3 steps EVERYTIME

Step 1
• Assume temporarily that…. (the conclusion is false). I know I always tell you not to ASSume, but here you can. You want to believe that the opposite of the conclusion is true.

Step 2
• Using the given information of anything else that you already know for sure, for sure, for sure…..(like postulates, theorems, and definitions), try and show that the temporary assumption that you made can’t be true. You are looking for a contradiction* to the GIVEN information. This contradicts the given information.
• Use pictures and write in a paragraph.
