E N D
Inequalities Involving Two Triangles SAS Inequality/Hinge Theorem • If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angle in one triangle has a greater measure than the included angle in the other, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.
