Activity 1
Directions: Complete the proof of Triangle Inequality Theorem 1(Ss→Aa) in two-
column form by choosing the right statement written in the box below.
Write your answer in a separate sheet of paper.
PQ = PS
MLPQR > MLPRQ
Angle Addition Postulate
Property of Inequality
m22 = M2PRQ + mz3
21 = L2
m22 > M2QRP
MLQSR + MZPRQ +mz3 = 180°
APQS is isosceles triangle
Substitution Property

P.
Given: APQR;|PR| > |PQ|
Prove: mzQ > mzR
R Q
Proof:
We cannot directly prove that mzQ > mzR, thus, there is a need to make
additional constructions (see the second figure). Locate S on PR such that |PS =
|PQI, and connect S to Q with a segment to form a triangle PQS.
