prove that any two sides of a triangle are together greater than the the third side
Answers
Answer:
hi mate
Here we will prove that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Given: XYZ is a triangle.
Inequalities in Triangles
To Prove: (XY + XZ) > YZ, (YZ + XZ) > XY and (XY + YZ) > XZ
Construction: Produce YX to P such that XP = XZ. Join P and Z.
The Sum of any Two Sides of a Triangle is Greater than the Third Side
0Save
Statement
1. ∠XZP = ∠XPZ.
2. ∠YZP > ∠XZP.
3. Therefore, ∠YZP > ∠XPZ.
4. ∠YZP > ∠YPZ.
5. In ∆YZP, YP > YZ.
6. (YX + XP) > YZ.
7. (YX + XZ) > YZ. (Proved)
Reason
1. XP = XZ.
2. ∠YZP = ∠YZX + ∠XZP.
3. From 1 and 2.
4. From 3.
5. Greater angle has greater side opposite to it.
6. YP = YX + XP
7. XP = XZ
Similarly, it can be shown that (YZ + XZ) >XY and (XY + YZ) > XZ.

☯ Theorem states that -
↪The sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side .
↪Let PQR is a triangle.
☯ To prove : QP + PR > QR
☯ Proof :
Extend QP to A,
Such that, PA = PR
⇒ ∠ PAR = ∠ PRA
↪Now , from the diagram -
⇒ ∠ ARQ > ∠ PRA
⇒ ∠ ARQ > ∠ PAR
⇒ QA > PQ ( Because, the sides opposite to larger angle is larger and the sides opposite to smaller angle is smaller )
⇒ QP + PA > QR
⇒ QP + PR > QR.
★ Note : similarly we can proved, QP + QR > PR or PR + QR > QP .
↪ Thus, The sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side .
