The document discusses geometric inequalities and properties of inequalities. It contains examples that illustrate properties like the transitive property of inequality and comparison property of inequality. It also contains geometry problems involving triangle congruence theorems and properties of perpendicular lines. The key ideas are using properties of inequalities to compare quantities and using triangle congruence theorems and properties of angles to prove geometric relationships.

WHAT I CAN DO 1. Use the figure to explain notation and complete each statement on the basis of theorems. a. If x = 40 and y = 30, then w > x+y b. If x = 72 and y = 73, then w = 145 c. If y = 54 and z = 68, then w = 112 d. If w = 112, then x = 58 e. If w = 150, then z = 30 f. If x = 25 and z = 90, then w = 90 g. If z = 90 then x = 25 and y = 65
∠CAK is the exterior angle of ΔCGH. ∠G is a remote interior angle of ΔCGH. By Exterior Angle Theorem, an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than each of its remote interior angles. Therefore ∠CAK > ∠G
