To prove: The statement of inequality
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given congruency statement is:
The given diagram is:
Consider the given statement of inequality as
Recall the converse of the isosceles
From the definition of congruency, we can write that,
Now, consider the inequality of triangle theorem:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.
Consider the third side of the triangle as
Since,
Hence, the statement is proved.
