PRACTICE WITH THE HINGE THEOREM
PART 1: Complete each statement with >, <, or =. (HINT: Mark the 2nd set of sides, if they
aren’t already marked)
1. AB _____ DE 2. GF _____ LM 3. m 1 ___ m 2 4. MS _____ LS 5. m 1 ___ m 2
6. KD _____ CP 7. m 1 ___ m 2 8. m 1 ___ m 2 9. m 1 ___ m 2 10. TP _____ AG
PART 2: Write an inequality to describe the restrictions on the value of x.
EXAMPLE 11. 12. 13.
x > 13
PART 3: What is the largest angle (of a triangle) in each picture?
14. 15.
PART 4: Use the given information to determine what triangles you should be looking at; then
match each set of information with the appropriate conclusion.
A. m 7 > m 8
B. AD > AB
C. AE > EC
16. AB = BC and 1 2 ABE and CBE
17. AE > EC and AD = CD ADE and
18. m 9 < m 10 and BE = ED
A. ED > AD
B. AF > AB
C. m 12 = m 3
D. AB < BC
E. FD > BD
F. AE > AC
19. AF = AB and m 1 > m 2 ABD and AFD
20. AF = FE and m 11 > m 12 AFD and
21. m 7 < m 8 and FD = BD
22. AF = AB and FD = DB
23. ED = CD and m 9 +m 8 > m 7 + m 6
24. AD = DC and m 6 > m 7
