Triangle Inequality Theorem
High schoolers investigate the relationship between angle measures and sides of a triangle and the relationships among the three sides of a triangle. The use of technology (Cabri, Jr.) allows learners to make and test conjectures as they...
Curated OER
Triangle Inequality
Learners discover that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. They are shown how a triangle is formed using three strips such as that the triangle is seen inside the strips.
