Slide2 : Segments, Angles, and Inequalities You will learn to apply inequalities to segment and angle
measures. 1) Inequality
Slide3 : Segments, Angles, and Inequalities The Comparison Property of Numbers is used to compare two line segments of unequal measures. The property states that given two unequal numbers a and b, either: a < b or a > b The same property is also used to compare angles of unequal measures.
Slide4 : Segments, Angles, and Inequalities The measure of J is greater than the measure of K. The statements TU > VW and J > K are called __________ because they contain the symbol < or >. inequalities a < b a = b a > b

Slide12 : Exterior Angle Theorem You will learn to identify exterior angles and remote interior
angles of a triangle and use the Exterior Angle Theorem. 1) Interior angle
2) Exterior angle
3) Remote interior angle
Slide13 : Exterior Angle Theorem In the triangle below, recall that 1, 2, and 3 are _______ angles of ΔPQR. interior Angle 4 is called an _______ angle of ΔPQR. exterior An exterior angle of a triangle is an angle that forms a _________ with one of
the angles of the triangle. linear pair In ΔPQR, 4 is an exterior angle at R because it forms a linear pair with 3. ____________________ of a triangle are the two angles that do not form
a linear pair with the exterior angle. Remote interior angles In ΔPQR, 1, and 2 are the remote interior angles with respect to 4.
Slide14 : Exterior Angle Theorem In the figure below, 2 and 3 are remote interior angles with respect to
what angle? 5
