Q1 of 39 Page 158

In figure ∠QPR > ∠PQR. Let’s write the relation between PR and QR


Given: ΔPQR and ∠QPR > ∠PQR


To find the relation between PR and QR


In the given ΔPQR,


∠QPR is opposite to side QR,


And also ∠PQR is opposite to the side PR.


And given ∠QPR > ∠PQR


We know in a triangle the shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle and the longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle.


⇒ QR > PR


Hence this is the relation between QR and PR.

Let's observe the measurement of the angles of the following triangles and let's compare the length of the sides which one is smaller and whose one is greater.

In ΔABC, AC > AB. D is any point on the side AC such that ∠ADB = ∠ABD. Let’s prove that ∠ABC > ∠ACB.

In Δ ABC, AB > AC; then the bisector of ∠BAC intersects BC at D. Let’s prove that BD < CD.
