Relationships of angles and sides

To order the measures of the sides and angles of a triangle.

To use triangle inequalities to solve problems.

Theorem

If one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side is larger than the angle opposite the shorter side.

Theorem

If one angle of a triangle is larger than another angle, then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle.
