Question

What is the Hinge Theorem used to show? A. that two triangles are similar B. the relative lengths of the corresponding sides in two triangles C. the congruency of adjacent sides D. the relative measures of the corresponding angles in two triangles

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The relative lengths of the corresponding sides in two triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, Hinge theorem states that if two sides of one triangle is congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angle of the first 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.

Or we can also say it as, if two triangles have two congruent sides (sides of equal length), then the triangle with the larger angle between those sides will have a longer third side.

So basically,Hinge theorem compares the relative lengths of the corresponding sides in two triangles.
