Thus, two sides of △ ABD  are congruent to two sides of △ C DB .

The third side of △ ABD  is larger than the third side of △ C DB . Therefore, the third sides are not congruent.

By the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the
third sides are not congruent, then the larger included angle is across from the longer third side.

Since  AB  is longer than  DC , the measure of the angle opposite  AB , m∠ ADB , must be greater than the measure of
the angle opposite  DC , m∠ CBD.

A D C

So, by the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, m∠ADB > m∠C BD .

Translate these statements and reasons into a 2 -column proof.

1.  AD ≅ BC , AB > DC  (Given)

2.  BD ≅ BD  (Reflex. Prop. of  ≅ )

Question 2

Mark 1 out of 1

Compare JN and MK.


J 12
K
48

52
N 12 M

Select one:
JN = MK

JN ≤ MK

JN < MK

 JN > MK

Compare the side lengths in △ MKJ  and △ JNM .

KJ = NM  It is given that both side lengths equal 12 units.

MJ = JM  This side is shared between the triangles.

J 12
K
48

52
N M
12
Therefore, two sides of △ MKJ  are congruent to two sides of △ JNM .

Consider the measures of the included angles, ∠ MJK and ∠ JMN. In the figure, it is given that m∠MJK = 48°  and 
m∠JMN = 52° . Therefore, the included angles are not congruent.

By the Hinge Theorem, if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included
angles are not congruent, then the longer third side is across from the larger included angle.

Because 52° , 
> 48° m∠JMN > m∠ MJK .

The side opposite of ∠ JMN is ¯JN


¯¯¯
¯
. The side opposite of ∠ MJK is ¯MK
¯¯¯¯

So, by the Hinge Theorem, JN > MK .

The correct answer is: JN > MK

Question 3

Correct

Mark 1 out of 1

Compare m∠ABD and m∠BDC .

A B 20 C

21

Select one:
m∠ABD < m∠BDC

 m∠ABD > m∠BDC

m∠ABD = m∠BDC

m∠ABD ≤ m∠BDC

Begin by comparing the side lengths of the two triangles, △ ABD  and △ C DB .

The comparison shows that AB = CD  (the sides are congruent), BD = DB  (they are the same side), and 
AD > C B  (since 21 > 20 ).

A B 20 C

21

So, △ ABD  has two sides congruent to △ C DB .

The third side of △ ABD  is larger than the third side of △ C DB .

A B 20 C

21

So, by the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, the measure of the included angle ABD  is larger than the measure of the
included angle BDC .

Therefore, m∠ABD > m∠BDC .

The correct answer is: m∠ABD > m∠BDC

Mark 1 out of 1

Identify the range of values for y .

60
4y + 15

105 5y + 8

Select one:
−1.6 < y < −7

8 < y < 15

 −1.6 < y < 7

7 < y < 15

Let's name the given triangle as △ ABC  and the point on the side as D.
B

60
4y + 15 C

105 5y + 8
D

A
BD  divides △ ABC  into two triangles, △ ABD  and △ CDB .

To find the range of values for y , first compare the side lengths of △ ABD  and △ CDB .

AD = CB  It is given that the sides are congruent.

BD = DB  This side is shared between the triangles.


B

60
4y + 15 C

105 5y + 8
D

A
Therefore, two sides of △ ABD  are congruent to two sides of △ CDB .

Consider the measures of the included angles, ∠ ADB and ∠ CBD. In the figure, it is given that m∠ADB ∘
= 105  and 
m∠CBD = 60

. Therefore, the included angles are not congruent.

7/25/2021 6.6 Homework: Attempt review

By the Hinge Theorem, if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included
angles are not congruent, then the longer third side is across from the larger included angle.

Because 105 ∘ ∘
> 60 , m∠ADB > m∠ CBD .

The side opposite of ∠ ADB is  AB . The side opposite of ∠ CBD is  CD .
B

60
4y + 15 C

105 5y + 8
D

A
So, by the Hinge Theorem, AB > CD .

It is given in the figure that AB = 4y + 15  and CD = 5y + 8 .

Substitute 4y + 15 for AB and 5y + 8  for CD  into the inequality and solve for y .

4y + 15 > 5y + 8

Subtract 4y from both sides.

15 > y + 8

Subtract 8  from both sides.

7 > y

Also, the length of the side must be a positive number. Therefore, AB > 0  and CD > 0 . Since AB > CD , it suffices to
solve only the inequality CD > 0 .

Substitute 5y + 8  for CD  into the appropriate inequality.

5y + 8 > 0

Subtract 8  from both sides.

5y > −8

Divide both sides by 5 .

y > −1.6

Combining the inequalities, y < 7  and y > −1.6 , yields −1.6 < y < 7  as the answer.

Therefore, −1.6 < y < 7 .

The correct answer is: −1.6 < y < 7

Question 5

Correct

Mark 1 out of 1

If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angle of the first triangle is larger
than the included angle of the second triangle, then the third side of the first triangle is congruent to the third side of the
second triangle.

Select one:
True

 False

The Hinge Theorem states if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, but the included
angle of the first triangle is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer
than the third side of the second triangle.

The correct answer is 'False'.

Which of the following can you deduce from the figures below?

Select one:
a. HI = KL

b. JK > JL

 c. HI < KL

d. GH > J K

The Hinge Theorem states if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, but the included

Question 8

Correct

Mark 1 out of 1

Compare m∠BAC and m∠EDF .

Select one:
 m∠BAC > m∠EDF

m∠BAC < m∠EDF

m∠BAC = m∠EDF

m∠BAC ≤ m∠EDF

Begin by comparing the side lengths of the two triangles, △ ABC  and △ DEF .

That comparison shows that AB = DE  (both equal 5  units), AC = DF  (both equal 11 units), and BC > EF  (since
10 > 9 ).

A D

5 11 5 11

B 10 C E 9 F

So, △ ABC  has two sides congruent to △ DEF .

The third side of △ ABC  is larger than the third side of △ DEF .

So, by the Converse of the Hinge Theorem, the measure of the included angle BAC  is larger than the measure of the
included angle EDF .

Enter a number only:

x < 16 

Question 10

Correct

Mark 1 out of 1

Identify the range of values for y .

2y + 3 70

140
5y − 12

Select one:
 2.4 < y < 5

−12 < y < 3

−2.4 < y < 9

3<y<5

Let's name the given triangle as △ ABC  and the point on the side as D.
B

2y + 3 70

140
A D 5y − 12 C
BD  divides △ ABC  into two triangles, △ ABD  and △ CDB .

To find the range of values for y , first compare the side lengths of △ ABD  and △ CDB .

AD = CB  It is given that the sides are congruent.

BD = DB  This side is shared between the triangles.


B

2y + 3 70

140
A D 5y − 12 C
Therefore, two sides of △ ABD  are congruent to two sides of △ CDB .

Consider the measures of the included angles, ∠ ADB and ∠ CBD. In the figure, it is given that m∠ADB = 140

 and 
m∠CBD = 70

. Therefore, the included angles are not congruent.

By the Hinge Theorem, if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included
angles are not congruent, then the longer third side is across from the larger included angle.

Because 140 ∘
> 70

, m∠ADB > m∠ CBD .

The side opposite of  ∠ ADB is  AB . The side opposite of ∠ CBD is  CD .


B

2y + 3 70

140
A D 5y − 12 C
So, by the Hinge Theorem, AB > CD .

It is given in the figure that AB = 2y + 3  and CD = 5y − 12 .

Substitute 2y + 3  for AB and 5y − 12 for CD  into the inequality and solve for y .

2y + 3 > 5y − 12

Subtract 2y from both sides.

3 > 3y − 12

Add 12 to both sides.

15 > 3y

Divide both sides by 3 .

5 > y

Also, the length of the side must be a positive number. Therefore, AB > 0  and CD > 0 . Since AB > CD , it suffices to
solve only the inequality CD > 0 .

Substitute 5y − 12 for CD  into the appropriate inequality.

5y − 12 > 0

Add 12 to both sides.

5y > 12

Divide both sides by 5 .

y > 2.4

Combining the inequalities, y < 5  and y > 2.4 , yields 2.4 < y < 5  as the answer.

Therefore, 2.4 < y < 5 .

The correct answer is: 2.4 < y < 5
