Formally define and explain key aspects of geometric

figures, including:a. interior and exterior angles

of polygons;b. segments related to

triangles (median, altitude, midsegment);

c. points of concurrency related to triangles (centroid,

incenter, orthocenter, and circumcenter);

Definition of InequalityDefinition of Inequality

For any real numbers a and b, a > b if and only if there is a positive

number c such that a = b + c.

than another side, then the angle

opposite the longer side has a greater measure than the angle opposite the

shorter side.

Theorem 5.10Theorem 5.10

Theorem 5.10Theorem 5.10

If one angle of a triangle has a

greater measure than another

angle, then the side opposite the greater angle is longer that the

side opposite the lesser angle.

Ebony is following directions for folding a handkerchief to make a bandana for her hair. After she folds the handkerchief in half, the directions tell her to tie the two smaller angles of the triangle under her hair. If she folds the handkerchief with the dimensions shown, which two ends

should she tie?
