Honors Geometry; 12/13

Our topic for today involved working with inequalities in one triangle.  We went through the triangle inequality theorems to show how the range of side lengths can be determined in a triangle, as well as how to make comparisons between angles and sides in a single triangle.  The concept is fairly simple -- the longest side is always opposite the largest angle;  the shortest side is always opposite the smallest angle.  The students then got started on their homework assignment.
