Q

If unequals are added to unequals of the same order

A

the sums are unequal in the same order

Since 5>3 and 4>1, we have 5+4>3+1 (or 9>4). If 2x-4

Q

If the measures of two angles of a triangle are unequal

A

Q

If unequals are subtracted from equals,

A

the differences are unequal in the opposite order.

Since 10=10 and 5>3, we have 10-5<10-3 (or 5<7). If x+y=12 and y>5, then x+y-y<12-5 or x<7.

14
Q

In the same or equal circles, the greater central angle

A

has the greater arc.

15
Q

In the same or equal circles, the chord at the smaller distance from the center

A

is the greater chord.

17
Q

If equals are added to unequals

A

the sums are unequal in the same order

since 5>4 and 4=4, we know that 5+4>4+4 (or 9>8). If x-4+4

19
Q

A quantity may be substituted for its equal

A

in any inequality.

If x>y and y=10, then x>10

20
Q

The longest side of a triangle is opposite

A

the largest angle.

21
Q

In a triangle, the measure of an exterior angle is

A

larger than the measure of either nonadjacent interior angle.

22
Q

If equals are subtracted from unequals

A

the differences are unequal in the same order

Since 10>5 and 3=3, we have 10-3>5-3 (or 7>2). If x+6

23
Q

If unequals are divided by the same positive number

A

the results are unequal in the same order.

24
In the same or equal circles, the greater chord is
at a smaller distance from the center.
25
If unequals are multiplied by the same positive number
the products are unequal in the same order.
27
If the first of three quantities is greater than the second and the second is greater than the third
then the first is greater than the third. If x\>y and y\>z, then x\>z
28
In the same or equal circles, the greater minor arc has
the greater chord
